However, some people think that it comes from Arabic Anbar, which translates as "glue".

In Lithuanian, amber is called gintaras, which means protector.

In Germany, amber is called "burning stone" because of its flammable function.

The Spanish collectively refer to Arabic gum and amber buried underground as "amber".

The vast Chinese civilization calls amber "tiger soul", "beast soul", "jade left behind", "dream", "red rosin" and "?" Wait,

There is even a folk saying that "the tiger turns into stone after death."

Amber means auspicious things, which can avoid disasters and soothe the nerves.

Amber also has medical value, which can preserve health, soothe the nerves and cure diseases.

If you travel through billions of years,

Amber must be a witness of ancient times.

Starting from a drop of resin, silently experiencing the baptism of hundreds of millions of years,

After numerous geological movements, volcanic eruptions or river scouring,

After many hardships, I was finally reborn.

The amber we see today carries ancient information.

Presented in front of you and me, silently telling the vicissitudes of history?

So, how did such precious and rare amber come into being?

Simply put,

Not all resins and gums can form amber.

Only a few of them can form amber under suitable conditions.

First, the burial environment of amber needs long-term stability.

This will not be destroyed by natural geological disasters such as volcanoes and earthquakes.

Secondly, amber should be buried for a long time.

At least 25 million years,

Otherwise, resin or gum cannot be completely petrified and amber cannot be formed.

Thirdly, the temperature and temperature of amber burial should be suitable.

If the temperature is too high, it will melt, and if the environment is too dry, it will crack and differentiate.

If the temperature is too low and the environment is too humid, amber cannot be formed.

Specifically,

There are two important periods of amber formation, one is the middle and late Cretaceous of Mesozoic,

One is the Cenozoic Tertiary deposit period.

1.400 million years ago? In the middle and late Cretaceous period of 650 billion years,

The earth is in a very warm period,

Some large dinosaurs ruled the earth,

During this period, insects were very active and angiosperms began to evolve.

The amount of amber preserved is relatively rare.

At present, it seems that most amber was formed in Cenozoic and Tertiary deposits.

This is an important period for the formation of amber.

During this period, the climate is warm and humid.

Dinosaurs are almost extinct, insects are more active,

Conifers began to secrete a lot of turpentine,

At the same time, with the geological movement,

Some trees are buried deep in the ground,

Over time, it gradually evolved into amber.

Often accompanied by coal seams.

Amber is a hydrocarbon containing succinic acid and amber resin.

The chemical composition is C 10H 16O, containing 79% carbon, 0.5% hydrogen 10.5% oxygen.

Sometimes it contains a small amount of hydrogen sulfide, which is amorphous.

Amber has various colors, such as yellow, brown, tan, green and lavender.

Its refractive index is 1.539- 1.545, and it is polychromatic.

Hardness 2-3, density1.1-1.16g/cm3, conchoidal fracture. .

Amber is an organic substance, which will melt when heated to 250-300.

It can give off a fragrant rosin smell.

Looking at the world,

Amber, born in tertiary Europe,

Mainly distributed along the Baltic coast,

The amber production in this area accounts for more than 90% of the global total output.

It is characterized by beautiful colors, rich varieties and large volume.

Amber in tertiary America,

Dominated by the Dominican Republic and Mexico in South America,

Formed in the same geological period, belonging to the same leguminous tree species.

Only the blue magic color in the fluorescence reaction is different.

Amber in tertiary Asia,

The most popular products in the market are China Fushun and Myanmar Amber.

Most of them are formed in coal seams and are related to coal crystals.

As a precious organic gem, amber,

Has its unique historical, scientific and artistic value,

It must be related to its harsh living environment.

In daily life, amber can not only be used as precious jewelry,

At the same time, it can also be used as a treasured antique, especially insects.

It has attracted the hard pursuit of many amber lovers.

It seems that it is really difficult to find real amber.

On the other hand, the current amber market is mixed.

It takes great skill to distinguish between authenticity and not being deceived.

Therefore, some brands are particularly trustworthy.
