Baltic Amber has been used
as material for ornaments and jewelry since the Paleolithic Period. In
Poland, in the region of Zulawy alone, approximately 1000
amber treatment sites dating back to the Neolithic period have been found.
The exceptional qualities of succinite were also appreciated by the ancient
Mediterranean culture and in the course of time this particular type of
amber reached all corners of the world. In a few thousand years, it
became the most valuable and the most widely used decorative stone.
Baltic Amber is not only a precious stone, but also a
witness of life dating back 40 million years. Inclusions in the form
of small animals and fragments of plants are great material for
paleontologists and the subject of interest for hobbyists and collectors.
Some inclusions still have their original three-dimensional form, and may be
examined as closely as any contemporary specimen.
