Amber Vs. Resin
| Amber is one of
the birthstones listed for the Sun Sign for Taurus. Natural
Amber deposits have been found that range
between 360 and one million years old and belong between the
Carboniferous and Pleistocene geological periods. Amber can range
in color from dark brown to a light almost clear lemon yellow.
Most amber is from the region of
the Baltic Sea or the Dominican Republic. Resin has similar color
as amber and light weight (but little heavier than Amber).
Resin is a hydrocarbon secretion of many plants, particularly
coniferous
trees. Fossilized
resins are the source of amber. |
