Amber is the fossilized resin produced by ancient plants that existed millions of years ago -- it is a natural product and not a mineral. Amber has been prized for its mystery and beauty by cultures dating from the Paleolithic to the present. The story of the natural history of amber spans time, the continents, and many peoples and societies. It also ranges from religion and art to commerce and the cutting edge of contemporary science, presenting an unusually rich and deep subject.
