Stone of the Month: Amber

Warm, golden and full of ancient history, amber is often described as a little piece of sunshine you can hold. Unlike most gemstones, amber is fossilized tree resin that formed over millions of years, sometimes preserving tiny plants, insects or air bubbles from prehistoric forests.

In holistic traditions, amber is associated with warmth, optimism and emotional balance. Many people use it as a comforting stone during periods of stress, change or low energy. It is also believed to encourage confidence, creativity and a more positive outlook while helping release stagnant or heavy emotions.
