Many have heard of such a stone as green amber. There is an opinion that it is endowed with some magical and healing properties. Is it true? Let's try to find the answer to this question.
History of Appearance
Most people think that amber is a precious stone. In fact, this is an erroneous opinion. Amber is the fossilized resin of trees that no longer exist. This stone, like a gem, was formed many hundreds of years ago, after a change in the earth's flora.
The story of its origin is as follows: when global warming came, coniferous plants sharply increased the release of resin (resin) with a very low viscosity of the substance. Time passed, new trees were born, old ones died. After several hundred years, their wood decomposed, and all the substances that are subject to dissolution and that are part of the resin were washed out with water. In dry form, the resin remained buried in forest soils. Under the influence of air, its hardening occurred very slowly, the chemical and physical properties changed. At this stage, the already hardened resin was washed into nearby water basins, where itfinal transformation into amber.
It is not uncommon to see fragments of plants, leaves, and even insects inside this fossilized resin. They got there when the resin was still liquid.
The color of amber can be different: most often from yellow to brown in a variety of shades, but the gem can even be silver.
Green amber is found in nature, very rare, but already loved by many people.
