Used by man even before the ice age, amber gemstone can be categorized as an organic gem material of vegetable origin. Amber is not a mineral but time-hardened fossilized resin of the species of pine called Pinus Succinisera which grew in forests around 45 million years ago, in the European main land known to us as the Baltic region today. The resin from these trees got fossilized after millions of years getting buried inside the soil (which might have happened due to earthquake or any other natural process) and the resulting gem material is called as amber now.
