Material: natural amber Gem shape: round Gem color: golden Diameter: 6mm Origin: baltic states 16" stand natural baltic amber round beads (about 10g) Although amber's use in adornment is probably as old as mankind itself, in recent times it has had a limited market.Millions of people learned from the film that amber, which is fossilised pine tree resin, is ancient and valuable, like an antique from history. The two main sources of amber on the market today are the baltic states and the dominican republic. Amber from the former is older, and thus preferred on the market, but that obtained from the latter is more likely to have insect inclusions. Amber prices can range from $20 to $40, 000 or more. 16"stand = 10g = usd35.5
