Gem Lore and Info:

Amber is a living gem; and has been revered by humanity for thousands of years as a protective, healing, and decorative material; and was once believed by ancient man to be the tears of the sun. Chiapas Amber is fossilized tree resin from the now extinct tree species, Hymanea Mexicana. What we know is that it formed some 23-30 million years ago during the Oligocene Era. These giant trees were subject to damage via forest fires, hurricanes, earthquakes, and other means, releasing copious amounts of resin from their trunks and branches.

This resin is differentiated from tree sap. Sap is the watery substance which transports nutrients through a tree. Resin on the other hand, is the sticky goo that is exuded when the tree is damaged, and acts to protect and heal it. Insects, flowers, leaves, and sometimes frogs, crabs, and lizards were inevitably trapped in the sticky substance that flowed from the trees. Sometimes pieces of resin would fall to the ground, encasing other plants and animals.
