Amber is an organic material made up of fossilized natural botanic resins; it is a mixture of hydrocarbons with a hardness of 2 to 2.5. The ancient Greek term for Amber was elektron, a word referring to the sun. Amber is known to develop an electric charge when rubbed, and our word 'electricity' derives from the ancient Greek term for Amber. The word 'Amber' comes from ambar, the Arabic word for ambergris, a similarly colored material discharged from the sperm whale and used in making perfumes.  Amber varies in color from yellow to brown or reddish brown, and is often transparent. Frequently it contains bits of plant material or fossil insects, some dating as far back as 120 million years ago. Baltic Amber, which is usually considered to be the finest, was formed from the resins of coniferous trees some 30 to 60 million years ago.  Amber has been fashioned into jewelry and ornaments for thousands of years. In Egypt, it was used at least 4,500 years ago, and Amber beads dating back to 2000 b.c. have been found in Crete. In Europe during the Middle Ages, rosary beads made from Amber were so popular that the available supplies were exhausted.  In the mythology of ancient Greece, Amber was created when Phaeton, son of the sun god Helios, was struck and killed by lightning. The grief of his sisters was so great that it turned them to poplar trees, and their tears were transformed to droplets of Amber.  .Robert Simmons.Many stones help us to connect with Light, but Amber brings us to Warmth. The energies of Amber are very solar, and they have the quality of creating a comfortable sense of warmth, health and well-being in the wearer. Amber carries the vibration of organic life, perhaps because it came from living trees, and that makes it feel very friendly and familiar to us. Amber has always been valued by humans for both its beauty and its healing qualities, and our long history of positive regard for Amber makes it a substance we tend to immediately like. Perhaps there is some 'species memory' that makes us realize the wholesome and beneficial traits of Amber - whatever the reason, the association seems good for both sides.  Amber is recommended to be worn or carried by anyone recovering from illness or injury, because its warm and nurturing energies put us in touch with our own essential strength and security. It is excellent for convalescence, because it warms the inner being and activates the life force, as well as one's emotional desire for wellness. It helps one to see the path to recovery and have the courage and confidence to follow it. Because Amber carries the vibration of life force, it helps us bring more of that energy into all levels of our beings. It can help one achieve longevity, and it is a beneficial stone to be worn by those who are elderly. Not everyone can (or would want to) move to a warm, sunny climate for retirement, but Amber facilitates the activation of a warm, sunny 'interior climate.' .  Amber can also spur one's innate capacity to manifest prosperity. To amplify this potential, I recommend using it with prosperity stones such as Tsavorite, Yellow Sapphire and Moldavite. Pairing Amber with Moldavite is also helpful for bringing positive and successful inner transformation. In addition, Amber works especially well when combined with Jet, facilitating purification, health and protection from negativity.  .Naisha Ahsian.While Amber is not technically a mineral, it has long been honored for its energetic and healing properties. Amber is a purifier, acting on the energetic, emotional and physical levels to transform negative or stagnant energies into clear, usable frequencies. Just as trees take in the 'waste' gas of carbon dioxide and turn it into oxygen, Amber takes in 'waste' energies and converts them to usable energy. It can assist one in purifying one's aura, as well as clearing any vibrations it contacts in its environment. This makes Amber an excellent stone for protection because it transforms negativity into a source of clear energy.  Amber is a key to ancient knowledge and can stimulate the remembrance of one's lineage and the genetic lessons and experiences passed down from one's ancestors. This makes it an excellent ally for clearing family patterns. It can assist in past-life exploration during meditation and in clearing karmic debris from one's energy field. It is a powerful ally in shamanic journeys, for its protec-tive energies and for its ability to facilitate travel to the lower world.  Amber is a form of solidified sunlight. Unlike other crystals and stones born within the depths of the Earth's crust, Amber is first created by the synthesis of light by plants and trees. As it is fossilized, that life force is solidified into the material we know as Amber. Because of its relationship to Light and to the Star at the center of our solar system, Amber is an excellent source of Light energy. It can assist one in connecting with interdimensional and intergalactic Light beings, including Nature devas, crop-circle makers, faeries and other beings connected to sacred na-ture. It is particularly connected to the Egyptian deity Ra.  Due to its light-carrying properties, Amber can help those who become depressed during winter due to light deprivation. It assists in stimulating metabolism, physical energy and the flow of energy along the meridians of the body. It can help draw out infection and cleanse contaminants from the organs.  .Spiritual.Amber assists one in connecting with Light beings, particularly those who are on Earth or who are to assist us through the coming shift. Its helps us integrate Light energy into the physical body, and is an excellent support for energetic healing. It offers protection through processing less desirable frequencies into cleaner, higher energy. Amber links us with Solar energy, reminding us of the Light and helping us clear resistance to our personal evolution.  .Emotional.Amber can assist those with Seasonal Affective Disorder or other depression based on light deprivation. It can help one find purpose and strength, taking action to evolve one's reality toward higher consciousness. It can assist the psychically sensitive by offering a protective Light barrier against negativity until they are able to control their intuitive skills.  .Physical.Amber helps increase general vitality and energy levels. It assists energetically in drawing out infection and preventing infection from occurring. It can stimulate sluggish digestion, organ and gland function. For those who work with removing entities from the energy field, Amber can be a valuable ally for sealing the aura after extraction and clearing any lingering negative patterns that might re-establish themselves in one's field.  .Affirmation.I call forth the cleansing and healing of my energy field, and I embrace the blessings of physical life.
