Amber

Received a golden necklace, richly wrought,

And set with amber beads, that glowed as if

With sunshine.

Homer

 

Amber, called gold of the North or gem of the Baltic is a fossilized tree resin dating back to millions of years ago, created as a form of healing an injury caused by wind, animals, fire... The mighty forest with palms and cinnamon trees that blessed us with this stunning gift of nature once covered the area of today's Scandinavia, with much warmer climate on Earth back then.

Metaphysically demonstrates aid in recovery after illness or injury and symbolizes beauty and tenderness, serving as a talisman attracting lasting love.

While sourcing beads for chapati&chai malas, we find providers from the countries of origin - Poland and Lithuania, where local craftsmen responsibly obtain and process the amber according to the highest standards and traditions.
