About this product
Hold it to a window and the light turns to honey. Inside, a small winged insect hangs at the center of the drop, caught mid-flight in sap that never let it go, some forty million years ago and long before the Baltic Sea took its present form.
This is a polished drop of Baltic amber, fossil resin from an ancient forest. It is warm gold, faintly cloudy where the resin flowed in layers, and light in the hand, almost like a warm stone. On the Baltic coast amber has been worn since the Stone Age, and folklore held it to be a fragment of sunlight made solid, a warming charm carried against cold and ill fortune.
Every inclusion is different, so this is a single specimen, photographed as it actually appears rather than as a stock image: what arrives is precisely what is shown.
