Amber is a resin fossil that is buried in the ground under the tens of millions of years of pine resin, and is formed by a certain chemical change. It is an organic mineral. Amber is crystal clear, bright like pearls, and color like agate. The varieties include Jinpo, Insect, Champa, Lingpo, Shiper, Huapo, Shuiper, Mingpo, Wax, etc., especially amber containing intact insects or plants.
Amber has a variety of shapes, and the surface often retains the lines that were created when the resin flowed. Bubbles and ancient insects or plant debris are often seen inside. In ancient China, amber was called the beast soul, light pearl, tiger cub, Yu Pei, Jiang Zhu, and jade. People also think that amber is the tears of the tiger, and it has the function of shunning the evil spirits and calming the town.
About 40 million years ago, there were large forests in northern Europe. At that time, the climate was warm and there were no humans. The resin was smashed by the ancestors of today's pine cedar. Those virgin forests were submerged and buried by mud deposits, and the resin was preserved until now. Many of the Nordic blockbusters have turned into the sea floor, which is why the amber in the world is mostly produced on the Baltic coast.
Amber is very delicate, afraid of fire, afraid of gasoline, fear of knocking, fear of exposure, fear of alcohol. Some amber also has aroma.

What is the value of amber?
The first record of amber medicine is to be traced back to ancient times. The main ingredients of the drug at that time were derived from natural minerals such as plants, animals and minerals. Amber has received deep attention from people because of its magnetic field. The original recipe of “Nicolaus Copernicus†preserved in Sweden states that there are 22 ingredients, including amber. Alport the Great (1193-180, Dominican, philosopher), ranked amber among the six most effective drugs. Amber has a good effect on the treatment of gastrointestinal and rheumatic pain.
Amber oil is another recognized specialty drug. It can effectively treat rheumatism. Amber oil can quickly penetrate into human skin, penetrate into the fiber, balance positive and negative ions, promote blood circulation and reduce muscle soreness. Affected by oriental medicine, amber is used for massage, and its disinfection and electrostatic properties play a big role. The three major functions of the abalone summarized by Tao Hongjing in the Southern and Northern Dynasties are: one is to calm the gods, the other is the blood stasis, and the third is diuretic. Today, we are surrounded by a variety of electronic instruments: radios, televisions, food processors, microwave ovens, hair dryers, razors, computers and mobile phones. These will affect our body. Modern research proves. We can reduce the negative impact of these appliances on us through amber. Wear amber decorations, which will change the electrical ions in the surrounding environment after friction. Reconstruct the disturbed electromagnetic field. Thereby reducing the physical and mental damage that electrical appliances bring to us.
Chinese medicine believes that amber can be used as a medicine, and it is also a valuable Chinese medicine. The three functions of amber summarized by the famous doctors in the Southern and Northern Dynasties Tao Hongjing are: one is to calm God, the other is to promote blood circulation, and the third is diuretic.
How to maintain amber?
Amber has a low hardness and is afraid of wrestling and bumping. It should be stored separately. Do not put it together with diamonds, other sharp or hard jewelry. Amber jewelry is afraid of high temperature. It should not be placed in the sun for a long time or at the edge of the stove. If the air is too dry, cracks may occur. Try to avoid strong fluctuations in temperature. Try not to contact alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, and organic solutions such as nail polish, perfume, hair gel, and insecticide containing alcohol. Remove the amber jewellery when spraying perfume or hair spray.
Amber rubbing against hard objects can cause rough surfaces and fine marks, so do not use a hard object such as a brush or a toothbrush to clean the amber. When the amber is stained with dust and sweat, soak it in warm water with a neutral detergent, rinse it with your hands, wipe it with a soft cloth, and finally add a small amount of olive oil or tea. Lightly wipe the amber surface and later use a cloth to remove excess oil to restore shine. The best way to maintain amber is to wear it for a long time, because the body oil can make the amber more shiny.
Where should Amber go in 2016, will it increase the price?
The price increase of amber this year is inevitable. At present, the raw materials are always rising, and the price of finished products has not risen. The reason for maintaining this pattern is that the processor’s thinking is “price-oriented†and exhausted the way to reduce costs. (including at the expense of quality), but many businesses have realized that this kind of thinking will ruin the entire industry. With the adjustment and regulation of upstream merchants, Amber will return to its original cost based on the existing price. It has risen again. Amber is a non-renewable resource, and the origin of raw materials is also paying more and more attention to the development and utilization of amber resources. Value-added is inevitable.
