Baltic amber was produced during the  epoch (56-34 million years ago)

Baltic amber is fossilized resin that was hardened millions of years ago and today is crafted into beautiful pieces of jewelry. 

Baltic amber is effectively a fossilized organic material (the resin from pine trees). In some cases, Baltic amber has genuine pieces of plants or insects inside. These plant or insect particles are legitimate fossils, representing a period of time before man. Inclusions of insects make up over 98% of the animals preserved in the amber, while all other material contribute less than 0.5% of the animal kingdom. Pieces of Baltic amber that contain fossilized insects or plants are much more expensive than clean pieces. Some pieces may contain sea shells or plant pieces.

The transparency and clearness of the amber influences its cost so the more transparent it is, the more valuable it is.

Reddish hues are more valuable than golden amber.

Golden amber is more valuable than yellow amber.

Baltic amber has been used for centuries for pain relief, inflammation relief, and the soothing of various types of discomfort.
