The healing properties of amber
Amber is believed to possess a range of healing properties. Often used for its purported ability to alleviate pain, reduce stress, and boost the immune system, amber is cherished in holistic practices. Many believe it can absorb negative energy, promoting emotional balance and overall well-being. At Sarene Babboo Gems, we offer carefully selected amber pieces known for their quality and potential therapeutic benefits. Please note that while many believe in these properties, they are not scientifically proven and should be considered alongside conventional medical treatments.
How amber is formed
Amber is formed from the fossilised resin of ancient trees, a process that can take millions of years. As the resin hardens, it often traps insects, plant matter, and other materials, providing a fascinating glimpse into prehistoric life. The resin undergoes polymerisation, transforming into the beautiful, translucent gemstone we know as amber. Our amber jewellery and crystals at Sarene Babboo Gems are sourced to ensure authenticity and capture the unique beauty of this natural process.
Who uses amber and what for
Amber has been used by various cultures throughout history for its beauty and perceived benefits. In ancient times, it was used in jewellery, amulets, and decorative objects. Traditionally, amber is worn for protection, healing, and as a symbol of status. Today, people use amber for its aesthetic appeal, potential therapeutic properties, and connection to the natural world. Whether you're seeking a beautiful piece of jewellery or a healing crystal, Sarene Babboo Gems offers a curated selection to meet your needs.
Why amber ranges so much in colour and price
The colour and price of amber can vary significantly due to factors such as origin, age, clarity, and the presence of inclusions. Amber can range from pale yellow to deep brown, with rarer colours like green and blue commanding higher prices. Inclusions, such as insects or plant matter, can also increase its value. At Sarene Babboo Gems, we carefully grade our amber to provide you with a range of options to suit different preferences and budgets, ensuring transparency in pricing and quality.
