Amber Sterling Silver Pendant.PSS,930

Amber is considered a mineralogy and not a gemstone. It is thought that Amber comes from the Arabic word “amber” which means “ambergris.” Ambergris is a waxy substance created in the intestine of Sperm whales and was used in making perfumes in ancient as well as modern times. Mineral Ness include Amber, horn, jet, bone, pearl and coral. There is no crystalline structure to be classified as a gemstone. That doesn’t mean it isn’t beautiful or expensive. It is both. Amber is made from an organic substance. In this case, tree resin. Over time, the resin was covered with debris and through a process of heat and pressure, it eventually fossilized to become Amber.

Many mistake fossilized Amber as being from tree sap, but it is not. Resin is a hydrocarbon secretion of many plants, especially conifer types of trees. It is an important source of raw materials for organic synthesis within the plant or tree. And, interestingly enough, resin is one of the constituents of incense and perfume. And in the perfume industry, such products are often termed “ambered,” which means it is based upon the fossilized resins being the source of the gemstone, Amber. Resins are also a material of nail polish. Technically speaking, Amber is referred to as Resinite, fossilized tree resin.

Amber is known around the world for its fossils that are trapped within the hardened resin. Here is a small frog that was on a tree where the resin was and it got caught in its sticky grip. More resin poured over the frog and now, a hundred and fifty million years later, we get to see it.

CATALOGING THE GEMS

I evaluate a gemstone in a number of ways. First, it falls into one of these categories: Heart Stone, Grounding Stone, Guard Dog Stone, High Energy Stone, Trauma Stone, Mental Stone, Stress Tone, Luck Stone, Psychic Stone, Money Stone, Arthritis Stone and Master Healer Stone. I created this system over the years because each stone has unique skills. Some, like the Master Stones, are diverse, multi-skilled and affect more than one chakra in our aura. With this blog, we’re going to look at a Grounding stone, the Amber family.

GROUNDING STONE

This is a mineralogy gemstone that has the ability to draw the person’s astral body back into their physical body. Many people nowadays are ‘hanging out of their body,’ due to the stress, pressure and demands of our out-of-control world. It can also occur after an accident or injury where shock will knock the astral body partly out of the person’s body. People who aren’t grounded become “spacy” and then forgetful, late for appointments, or forgetting them completely. Worse, they have no desire to do anything. They feel like they’re in a vacuum and have no sense of purpose or direction. They lack discipline, organization and rarely complete what they start. They are often ‘dreamers’ but they can’t physical manifest it because they are not ‘home’ in their body.

The other way a grounding stone may help is to draw the roots from the Root chakra down through the person’s legs, through their feet to once more ground them into the Earth. A healthy person has roots of energy from this base chakra going far down into the earth. Their astral body is “locked” into their physical form completely. When this occurs, this person has discipline, organization and finishes what they start. They also have purpose, a vision and work toward it with vigour and passion. Being grounded is essential for living down here on our Earth. Otherwise, if ungrounded, a person will wander and float aimlessly through life accomplishing very little. Because Amber is tree resin (not sap), it had the energy of the tree and its roots. This helps keep a person locked into their physical body.
