Since ancient times, amber has been considered an ideal medicine that can cure almost all diseases, and the most useful is a natural, unpolished stone without heat treatment. Modern medicine recommends it to people who have problems with the thyroid gland, goiter , insomnia and many other ailments of the modern world. For people suffering from thyroid diseases, it is recommended to wear healing beads made of natural Baltic amber daily. They contain a large amount of succinic acid, which begins to be intensely released when heated to 36 degrees. Therefore, they are best worn directly on the body. To enhance the therapeutic effect, it is also recommended to have a phyto-bag with natural unprocessed amber; it can be placed on the office desk next to the computer, taken into the car, placed under the pillow or placed on the nightstand next to the bed. It has hypoallergenic, antibacterial, antistatic properties, perfectly ionizes the air, thereby helping with insomnia, excessive anxiety and irritability. In recent years, after the active development of computer technology and the emergence of harmful radiation from it, the use of amber has become necessary to neutralize the negative effects of electrical equipment.

In this case, to obtain the maximum effect, amber is used in the form of compresses, and the following are suitable for these purposes: small amber pebbles, which must be heated and, placed in a bag or gauze, applied to the sore joint; the procedure must be repeated twice a day for 15-20 minutes; You can also use amber powder and finely ground crumbs (from 1 to 4).

The first mentions of the healing properties of the stone are in the works of Hippocrates.

Originals and fakes - features of real cabochons

People began to imitate natural precious stones a very long time ago. Counterfeits are made from glass, ceramics, plastics, polystyrene and polyesters. Sometimes a little crushed solar gems are added to the artificial base - this is how bernite, gedanite, and glossite are obtained. Sometimes “immature” resins (burmite, rumenite, copal) are passed off as high-quality cabochons, the main disadvantage of which is their high softness. The surface of such a nugget can be damaged by simply pressing on it with your fingernail! But ambroid (amber chips, to save raw materials, pressed into a single mass using heat and pressure) is not considered a fake, although its appearance is inferior to the beauty of natural stones.

All of the surrogates listed above (except ambroid) do not have healing properties. Therefore, if you want to purchase accessories made from polished cabochons or buy raw amber, you need to carefully study each gem. How can you identify real hardened resin? Here are some easy to implement methods:

• if you rub a gemstone on fur, wool or silk, small fibers of fabric, hairs and even pieces of paper will stick to its electrified surface;
• Place the cabochon in a saturated saline solution (8-10 tablespoons of table salt per glass of water). Since the density of natural amber is only 1.05-1.09 g/cm3, it will float to the top;
• run a knife or needle over the gem. Natural hardened resin will crumble into small fragments, and plastic imitations will produce elastic shavings;
• sun stones quickly heat up in the hand, emitting a pleasant resinous aroma;
• In real cabochons there are many inclusions - particles of bark, leaves, flowers that got into the hardening resin. Sometimes there are even inclusions - insects, spiders, lizards. In addition, air bubbles are often visible in amber: in naturally occurring stones they are impeccably round, while in ambroid they are elongated vertically.

Baby healing beads for teething

Since ancient times, representatives of the fair half of humanity have preferred jewelry made from natural stones. Everyone knows that amber products not only look beautiful, but also have a number of medicinal properties. But not every young mother knows about the possibility of easing baby’s teething with the help of this stone.

Features and use of amber beads for children

Most children during the period of growth of their first teeth experience sharp pain and fever. To reduce it, pharmacology offers many different means: creams, ointments, tablets. But they have both a positive effect and can cause allergic reactions in babies. In contrast, baby medicinal teething beads are a 100% natural product and very easy to use.

It is enough to put the product on the child, and the natural stone will significantly reduce pain and discomfort. The beads act as a natural analgesic. Absorbed through the baby's skin, succinic acid improves his well-being. Wearing them daily will reduce swollen gums, salivation and redness of the cheeks. This product is absolutely safe for children, which has been proven over many centuries of its use. For comfort and to prevent suffocation, no metal fasteners are used in its manufacture. Each bead is perfectly polished, which creates maximum comfort for your baby's skin.

Origin story

The first description of amber was published in the 10th century BC. Egyptian priests used the stone to mummify corpses, create amber incense burners, and embalm rulers.

In the Roman Empire, patricians were decorated with the sun stone. Greek warriors used the mineral instead of an amulet. Therapeutic possibilities are described in the works of Hippocrates and Avicenna. The beneficial effects of the mineral on children were described by Pliny and Biruni.

The stone became most popular in the 17th century. The architectural monument, called the Amber Room, was part of the chambers of the Russian Tsars.

How to distinguish amber on the beach from other stones

Distinguishing amber from other stones and glass on the beach is not an easy task. Especially when whole crowds gather around the find and try to gnaw it, sniff it, knock it on their teeth, twirl it, etc. (joke). This is even more difficult to do on a crowded beach.

Amber on the beach of the Baltic Sea.

Of course, it’s lying there and waiting for its lucky owner. By the way, legends about the discovery of large pieces of amber on the shore have been circulating for a long time. They are not unfounded. Emissions occur in various areas of the coast. But on the beach of a resort town, Zelenogradsk, for example, among thousands of vacationers? Hardly.

It will be yellow, lemon, transparent, rarely cloudy yellowish. This amber is usually collected for crafts and souvenirs.

Scope of application

Amber is essential for art, industry and jewelry production. The distribution of amber among cells is based on its parameters.

Jewelry industry

Most often, jewelers become consumers of amber. The mineral becomes an ideal complement to silver, gold and platinum jewelry.

Light stones in a silver setting are suitable for young ladies. Cognac-hued honey minerals, as well as cherry- and brown-colored stones set in gold, are suitable for older girls. For men, the best option is black amber framed in white.

Art

The mineral elements are pressed to produce agglomerates needed by designers and stone cutters who create products of various shapes and sizes. Various sculptures, boxes, ashtrays, chess, watches and amber dishes are in great demand. Accessories can perform utilitarian and aesthetic functions.

Other directions

Amber is used in the production of medicines and medical equipment. In the industrial sector, the mineral becomes a raw material for insulation, enamel and chemical production elements. Even in agriculture, amber is necessary.

Who is the stone suitable for, its approximate cost

Amber has a strong energy that few can control.

Astrologers believe that the stone is most suitable for Leos. The zodiac sign has a strong character, which is only enhanced under the influence of the mineral. Despite the universality of amber, it will bring good luck to Leos and protect them from evil forces.

For the rest of the signs of the zodiac circle, the stone gives inner peace, tranquility, and strengthens positive character traits. The only sign that is not influenced by amber is Taurus. The mineral will not cause harm, but there will be little benefit.
