Amber is a stone that was valuable even to primitive people. His first descriptions date back to the tenth century BC! This amazing rich golden mineral has many unique properties. Now I’d like to talk about them, and also to find out who amber suits the zodiac sign.
Origin
First, it should be noted that amber is a fossilized petrified resin with very interesting properties. This stone does not form crystals, and according to the classification it refers to amorphous framework polymers, which are known to be high molecular weight compounds.
Amber does not show pleochroism, dispersion and birefringence. It is also impossible to interpret the absorption spectrum of light. But then there is luminescence, represented by interesting shades, ranging from white-blue to yellow-green.
What is another unique physical property of a stone? Amber is flammable. It may catch fire from a match flame. Also, this petrified resin is highly electrified and excellently polished.
The main thing is not to store amber in the open air, because it is actively oxidized by oxygen and is aging. As a result, its chemical composition and color changes, fragility increases.

White amber
Another amazing kind of stone. Interestingly, in ancient Rome, white amber was cheap, and therefore was used for smoking incense. After all, it burns so well and gives off a pleasant aroma! But in the East, this stone was very appreciated for its healing properties.
There are two explanations for this shade. There are white amber, which became such because of the chalk that got into them, and there are those that contain a mass of tiny gas bubbles. This is also a rare species. Of the total amount of existing amber, only 1-2% of the specimens are white or milky in color. By the way, it is also called “royal”.
The healing value of the stone is invaluable. Amber was used in the time of Avicenna against pains in the abdomen, heart and from bleeding. It was taken in powder form. Ancient people intuitively found succinic acid in it, which is a non-specific biostimulant. It is she who activates enzymes in the body.
Magical features
They also must be noted when studying the description of the stone. White amber, according to popular belief, protects against evil spirits and relieves insomnia. It also symbolizes faithful friendship and love.

Jet
About it is worth telling in the end. He is better known as jet. This stone is called amber due to the fact that if it were golden, it would be very similar to it. But the origin is completely different. The jet is not a petrified resin, but a type of brown coal. But he is very beautiful!
