Archaeologists have found many beautifully carved amber pieces in graves, dating back around 2000 b.c. or before.Amber stone artifacts and jewelry have been found in many places, and this may be because it was possibly a trade item that ended up in the hands of those who had the wealth.The meaning of amber healing attributes has been well known as it has been in use since ancient times.Part of its use may be attributed to its beauty, but those that used it and kept it on their body as jewelry or talismans would have been aware that it helped to improve their health.Archeological finds made from this stone are well documented. This includes a well known Amber cup that may have been made in Britain, as it was found at Hove near Brighton.There has even been Amber discovered in Egyptian tombs, including that of Tutankhamen.Many of the artifacts made of amber had insects within them. If you look for them they are fairly easy to buy and it's quite astonishing to see them clearly visible, trapped in the stone.In ancient times, the pieces containing insects were probably thought to have magical virtues, as they were carved into hunting talismans, worn to ensure safe and abundant hunting.You may be able to find interesting things in the pieces you buy, including small bugs in amber, and sometimes ants, spiders or a dragonfly in amber.Among the pieces I have obtained are pieces with termites and ants embedded in the amber stone and these are quite interesting.Within this resin you will also find other things from nature, with a variety of leaves and other plant based material trapped in the stones. You will notice inclusions from parts of the ancient trees, such as leaves, leaf mold and pine needles.
