The ancient Greeks discovered amber by observing its ability to attract lightweight objects, such as feathers and straw, when rubbed against fur or cloth. They referred to amber as "electron," which is derived from the Greek word "ēlektron." This phenomenon was one of the earliest recorded instances of static electricity, leading to further exploration of its properties and uses in jewelry and ornamentation. Amber was valued not only for its beauty but also for its intriguing physical characteristics.
The Greeks discovered that if amber was rubbed it could produce sparks. They thought it was a special property of amber. The Greek word for amber was Elektron, hence the modern word.

The Greeks studied charges using amber, which is a type of fossilized tree resin that can acquire a static electric charge when rubbed. This observation led to the development of early theories on electricity and magnetism in ancient Greece.
