In Sacred Crystals' teaching Amber Dissolves Opposition — Smooth Sailing, Gentle Flow — chakras: Sacral, Solar Plexus and Throat. A coiled snake in silver-toned metal wraps a teardrop of Baltic Amber, on lever-back wires. In Sacred Crystals' Teaching Amber is actually not a stone, but a fossil. It is fossilized tree sap that flowed from trees millions of years ago; this slow-moving flow often trapped unsuspecting insects in its path, immortalizing and preserving them for all eternity. Amber is a stone that helps us get through difficult transitions as it dissolves opposition. When forces in life are working against each other, Amber can help to bring harmony. Spiritually, Amber helps to absorb negative or stagnant energies from the auric field — also known as the energy body. In crystal healing, when a stagnant or less-than-light energy is known to be held in a particular chakra, meditations with Amber on that chakra help to draw out the offending energy; the Amber then transmutes that energy to divine light to be purified. A remover of obstacles, Amber guides with ancient wisdom and brings the warmth of sunshine on cloudy days — a luminous resin infused with the light of ancient suns. Amber will help you gently flow in the energy of life. Chakras: Sacral, Solar Plexus and Throat. What Makes This Piece Stone: genuine Amber — fossilized tree resin, not a stone Style: lever-back earrings Sold as a pair — the pair pictured, one in stock About the Stone Amber is the hardened resin of ancient trees — most Baltic amber is around 40 million years old — and it is warm to the touch, light enough to float in salt water, and often holds insects, seeds or bubbles sealed in as it flowed. It is an organic gem like Jet and Pearl rather than a mineral. Wearing & Care Put earrings on last, after perfume, lotion and hairspray, and take them off for showers, swimming and sleep. Keep the pair together in a pouch so the stones don't rub against other jewelry. Amber is not a self-cleaning stone: cleanse it regularly, preferably with sage — and it will always love a bath in the light of the Full Moon, as will all of your crystals. It is soft and scratches easily, so store it apart from harder stones, and keep it away from perfume, hairspray, solvents and heat. Wipe it with a soft cloth; no ultrasonic, no hot water. A Note on Your Selection This is the pair in the photographs — the only one we have. When it is gone, it is gone. Pairs Well With Amber Ring 02.8030, Amber Round Bead Bracelet 6mm, Amber Oil .5 oz.
