The journey of amber unfolds from a rough gem to a polished treasure. Professionals wield lapidary wheels to bring out the amber's shine, but the real excitement lies in what might be revealed: a tiny

insect trapped in time.

However, finding these fascinating inclusions is like searching for a needle in a haystack. Only about one in fifty polished pieces of amber boasts an insect fossil. It's a testament to the dedication required to unearth these hidden wonders.


And when it comes to finding amber in stores, the Baltic variety reigns supreme. The sheer abundance of amber from the Baltic region overshadows other deposits, making it a more common sight for eager collectors. So, if you're browsing amber jewelry, there's a good chance you're holding a piece of Baltic history.
