Amber's "basic knowledge"

The lightest gem in the world is amber. The Baltic Sea coast of Europe is the most famous place in the world for producing amber. China's coal Fushun is also a civilized world due to the production of amber, how is amber formed?

Hundreds of millions of years ago, some plants containing turpentine such as white pine and redwoods grew in the dense virgin forest. Their trunks are able to ooze a cluster of yellow mucus, which is turpentine. A variety of insects feed in the pine forest, and when they hit the turpentine, they can't get out. Sometimes the thick yellow turpent drops from the tree and falls on the insects, so they are alive and sealed with turpentine. Ten thousand years have passed, and this has formed amber. The shape of amber is varied and varied. The surface often retains the lines that were created when the resin flowed, and bubbles and ancient insects or plant debris were often seen inside. Why has Amber been preserved so far after so long? This has to be traced back to ancient times, because the earth's crust movement caused the land to gradually sink, the sea water gradually rises, the original forest is submerged, and the rosin along with the insects enclosed therein are buried in the sea water and deposited between the sediments. Tens of thousands of years have passed, and the underlying tree trunks have turned into coal through complex chemical changes. The turpentines have become transparent amber, and the insects enclosed in them have not been broken down by bacteria to cause decay due to the protection of turpentine. So it's well preserved and clearly visible.

Amber formation takes at least 2 million years, very rare, each one is unique, so precious, loved by many collectors. It can be used as a medicine or as an ornament. More importantly, it records the evolutionary history of insects hundreds of millions of years ago, and Amber has led scientists' thinking to distant geological times.

The standard for identifying amber is that it is dense, crack-free and beautiful in color. The most expensive amber is highly transparent and has insects. It differs according to the clarity, shape and size of the insects. The best grades can be classified as gems. Gold, yellow-red amber is the top grade. Amber with insects is used to make ring stones and chest pendants, which are of high value. The cracks are more, the texture is softer, the color is dim, or the amber color is similar to the general stone color, and has no use value.
