Geology · Formation
How it forms: Millions of years of polymerization.
Amber is a 'mineraloid'—it began as living organic matter rather than a mineral. It starts as resin secreted by ancient trees as a defense mechanism against insects or disease. The resin must be buried in oxygen-poor sediments. Over millions of years, the resin undergoes 'polymerization,' linking molecules into long, stable chains. The Result: A lightweight, warm-to-the-touch organic gemstone that often traps insects or plant matter.
