Polished Amber (Per Gram)

Amber is fossilized tree resin, hardened over millions of years into a warm, golden-to-cognac gem material and prized across cultures for centuries. This polished amber is sold by weight, so the piece you receive is priced and portioned per gram, with natural variation in shape, clarity, and exact color from piece to piece.

Quick facts

Meaning & history

Amber has been collected and worn since ancient times, valued for its warm glow and lightweight, almost warm-to-the-touch quality. In tradition it's associated with warmth and a grounded, protective feeling — many people place it among stones for energy and vitality or protection and grounding, and it pairs well with other pieces in the amber collection.

How to use it

Polished amber works well set into jewelry, kept as a small display piece, or held briefly during quiet reflection. Because it's lightweight and warms quickly, many people enjoy simply holding it in the hand.

Care & cleansing

Amber is soft and sensitive to heat and solvents — keep it away from direct flame, hot surfaces, perfume, and cleaning chemicals, and avoid soaking it in water. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth, and store it away from harder stones that could scratch its surface.

Frequently asked questions

What is polished amber?
Amber is fossilized tree resin, hardened over millions of years into a warm, golden-to-cognac colored gem material, then polished smooth. This is a decorative/symbolic piece, not a health product or medical device.

Is amber water-safe?
Amber tolerates a very brief rinse, but avoid soaking, hot water, and any solvents or perfumes, which can dull or damage its surface — a soft, dry cloth is the safer everyday choice.

Can I wear amber daily, or does it need sun protection?
Amber is fine for daily handling or wear, but because it's a soft, organic material, keep it away from prolonged heat, direct flame, and strong chemicals such as perfume or cleaning solvents.

How do I cleanse and charge amber?
Many people use sound, smudging smoke, or a gentle wipe with a soft dry cloth rather than water, since amber is heat- and solvent-sensitive.

How can I tell amber is genuine?
Genuine amber is lightweight for its size, warms quickly in the hand, and can develop a light static charge when rubbed — unlike glass or plastic imitations, which feel colder and heavier.

How is this amber priced?
This amber is sold by weight — priced per gram — so the amount you receive corresponds to the quantity ordered; pieces vary naturally in shape and size.
