Amber is a hard, translucent fossil resin, that takes millions of years and involves oxidation and polymerization of the original organic compounds, oxygenated hydrocarbons. Over several hundred years the tree sap hardens into what looks like a kind of rock. The trapped bug can be seen by holding amber up to sunlight. It is used for making jewelry and other ornamental objects.
