AMBER Not A Gemstone Yet It Is

I love Amber. Amber, the gemstone, has always seemed exotic, mysterious. maybe even unattainable. Because of this, I assumed Amber would be expensive and hard to find, but I was so wrong.

Amber cabochons from Mexico. You can see how beautiful and semi-translucent they are. Some even have small inclusions. Below is one I took off the card, for an up close view.
This is the cabochon that was taken from the card.

This package of Amber cabs from Mexico are definitely affordable and very exciting. A collection of Amber jewelry made with these cabs will, I believe, become my next passion.

I plan to learn more about Amber and it’s medicinal and healing properties over the next few weeks as I work on my collection, and I hope you’ll follow my blog to learn along with me. I appreciate your comments and suggestions.
