Amber is not technically a gemstone – it’s an ancient tree resin that has solidified and turned into a fossil. Because of this, Amber has very strong connections with Mother Earth and is an excellent grounding stone. Called the Honey Stone in ancient China, it was thought that Amber held the souls of many tigers and the power of the sun.   Another Oriental legend claims that Amber is actually drops of a petrified Dragon’s blood. In ancient times, people believed that Amber was formed by the setting rays of the sun. The Vikings called Amber the "tears of Freyja" after their goddess of love.   Amber was used by the Roman gladiators as a protection amulet against danger and fear – it was said to be a stone of courage that helped you face your fears.

Amber is also known as the Mother Goddess Stone due to the fact that insects, plants and even tiny animals were found petrified inside its crystals. It was thought that Amber contained the essence of life.  It is a powerful healer that absorbs negative energy and changes them into positive forces that help stimulate personal healing.
