Baltic amber is one of the most famous and historically significant types of amber in the world. Here are the key points:

What Is Baltic Amber

• Age: About 44–50 million years old (Eocene epoch).

• Origin: Comes from forests that once stretched across Northern Europe. The resin fossilized over millions of years into amber.

• Region: Found around the Baltic Sea (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, Russia’s Kaliningrad, and surrounding areas). Kaliningrad alone supplies about 90% of the world’s amber.

Special Features

• Color Range: Classic golden honey, but also white, green, red, and even rare blue tones.

• Clarity: Can be transparent, cloudy (“bastard amber”), or opaque depending on trapped air bubbles and inclusions.

• Inclusions: Baltic amber is especially famous for insects, spiders, small reptiles, plant matter, and even feathers—tiny “time capsules” of ancient ecosystems.

Scientific & Cultural Value

• Scientific: The inclusions give scientists direct evidence of prehistoric life, ecology, and even DNA traces.

• Historical Use: Valued as far back as Neolithic times. The Amber Road was an ancient trade route bringing Baltic amber to the Mediterranean.

• Folklore: Traditionally believed to have healing properties and used in jewelry, amulets, and medicine.

Identification

• Succinic Acid Content: Baltic amber contains 3–8% succinic acid, which distinguishes it from many other ambers. This is why it’s sometimes called “succinite.”

• Hardness: 2–2.5 on Mohs scale—soft, warm to the touch, and can be polished easily.
