Many have heard of such a stone as green amber. There is an opinion that he is endowed with certain magical and healing properties. Is this really so? Let's try to find the answer to this question.
Appearance story
Most people think that amber belongs to precious stones. In fact, this is a misconception. Amber is a petrified resin of already non-existent trees. This stone, as a gem, formed many hundreds of years ago, after a change in the terrestrial flora occurred.
The history of its origin is as follows: when global warming ensued, coniferous plants sharply increased the release of resin (gum) with a very low viscosity of the substance. Time passed, new trees were born, old ones perished. After several hundred years, their wood decomposed, and all substances susceptible to dissolution and included in the resin were washed with water. In dry form, the resin remained buried in forest soils. Under the influence of air, its hardening took place very slowly; chemical and physical properties changed. At this stage, the already hardened resin was washed off to the nearby water basins, where it finally turned into amber.
Often inside this petrified resin you can see fragments of plants, leaves and even insects. They got there when the resin was still in a liquid state.
The color of amber can be different: most often from yellow to brown in various shades, but the gem is even silver.
In nature, green amber is found, very rare, but already loved by many people.
Green stone
Stone (amber is conventionally called stone) of green color is a rare species, it looks surprisingly beautiful. It got its green hue from the fact that it came from trees that have long been growing in marshy areas. Organic matter in the process of decay gave this fossil mineral an amazing and rare color. It is extremely rare to find a stone with a bright, saturated green color, which came from the juice of an equally rare Pinus Sccinieferra plant.
Green amber is mined in the Baltic (its natural color is grayish-green) and in the Dominican Republic ( blue-green shades prevail there ). However, jewelers have already found a way to enhance the brightness of the green tone of the mineral, for which it is heated with argon or in an oxygen atmosphere.
Green amber in silver
Petrified resin jewelry frames gold, platinum, silver. But after studying the characteristics of all precious metals, taking into account their types and properties, jewelers came to the conclusion that this mineral is better and more efficient to combine with white.
Amber, framed in a silver frame, looks very beautiful. The qualities of these two components are taken into account. Amber has strong healing properties, has magical powers. Silver is inherently a cold metal and enhances the healing properties of amber. Healers say that jewelry made from this solar stone and silver has magical power and ancient wisdom, great healing power.

Green amber is a special stone. The mineral expels all sorts of diseases from the human body. To do this, put a piece of amber on a sore spot, and the disease will recede. After such a procedure, the sun stone will change dramatically - it will fade, become cloudy, and in the subsequent treatment it can no longer be used.
In folk medicine, amber powder is widely used. It is taken in various forms: diluted in boiled water for stomach diseases; mixed with ointments for rubbing into sore spots.

Green Amber Reviews
After getting acquainted with the reviews of people who purchased products from green amber, one can be surprised at how much they loved this unusual gem. Many bought it simply because it is beautiful, original and rare. Others, having initially learned about its healing properties, acquired it purposefully.
True jewelry connoisseurs actively attend exhibitions of natural stones and gems in order to get acquainted with something new, enjoy the beauty and, of course, purchase something for yourself or as a gift. And I want to note that green amber has far from last place at these exhibitions. Indeed, in ordinary retail outlets it is very difficult to purchase products from a natural gem, given its exclusivity. And at themed exhibitions there is an opportunity to purchase amazing jewelry without fear of getting a fake.
It should be borne in mind that the latest technology allows you to make products that are very likely to imitate natural amber. Of course, they are beautiful, but they are much cheaper than a natural mineral. Only professionals can distinguish real amber from artificial.
