Amber comes from the fossilized resin that lived tens of millions of years ago in trees. It is normally a golden yellow to golden orange, and ranges from transparent to semi translucent. Amber was one of the first substances used for personal adornment. Decorated pieces of amber have been found in remains from the Stone Age.
