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.

How are fossils formed in tree sap?
Fossilized tree sap is called amber.-Leah Ward
Is amber a silicate?
Amber is not a mineral, hence it cannot be a silicate. Amber is fossilized tree resin.
What type of fossil is formed by resin sediments that have hardened in a hollow space?
Amber is the type of fossil formed by resin sediments that have hardened in a hollow space. It is prized for its beauty and sometimes contains well-preserved insects or plant material.
What is fossilized tree sap?
Fossilized tree sap is called amber. It is formed when tree resin hardens and becomes buried in the ground, where it can undergo a process of polymerization over millions of years. Amber often contains prehistoric insects or other small organisms preserved within it.
Is amber renewable or nonrenewable?
Amber is considered nonrenewable because it is formed from the fossilized resin of ancient trees that existed millions of years ago. It takes a long time for resin to fossilize and create amber, and the process does not occur at a rate that can keep up with the demand for amber.

Give two examples of organically formed rocks?
Coal and amber.
How does a body fossilof an animal form in amber?
Smart kitty: sorry, your answer is wrong. only insects form in amber and animals and reptiles are formed in fossils.
Is amber a polymer?
No, amber is not a polymer. It is a fossilized tree resin consisting mainly of hydrocarbons. It is not formed through polymerization like most synthetic polymers.
Is the rock amber living?
Not necessarily. An amethyst is a purple quartz rock. So they're technically a metamorphic rock but can be a part of many sedimentary rocks. For example you can have quartz sand that has formed into a sandstone.
What are the key differences between natural amber and synthetic amber?
Natural amber is formed from fossilized tree resin over millions of years, while synthetic amber is created in a laboratory using artificial resins. Natural amber often contains inclusions like insects or plant matter, while synthetic amber is usually free of inclusions. Additionally, natural amber tends to have a higher value and is considered more valuable than synthetic amber in the jewelry market.

What is amber and why do scientists study it?
Amber is a hard, translucent yellow-orange fossil resin formed by old and hardened tree sap. Scientists study it because it has a peculiar property to, when something is in it, protect it from wear and tear and nothing dissolves or changes in amber. Amber has the peculiar property to completely preserve something and not allow it to decay or deform.
