Baltic Amber at Elysian Fields

Baltic amber is the most sought-after type of amber. It is resin that oozed from living trees in prehistoric forests and fossilized over millions of years. Most Baltic amber is between 30–90 million years old, but some has been dated to be 320 million years old.  

The most abundant sources of Baltic amber are found on the shores of Lithuania, Poland and Russia. In the most unique and expensive pieces of amber, you can see extinct insect inclusions which are mostly found in amber museums today. Authentic Baltic amber contains up to 8% of succinic acid. It is an anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antibiotic and anti-anxiety substance which helps relieve hot flashes. When combined with body heat, Baltic amber releases succinic acid into the bloodstream. This acid is what makes amber teething necklaces popular for babies.  In addition, pet collars with amber act as natural flea and tick repellents.  

Besides being worn as jewelry, Baltic amber is used in teas, lotions, incense, tinctures and room sprays. Its esoteric properties are associated with sacral and solar plexus chakras, as well as for helping with throat and thyroid disorders. It carries ancestral wisdom, and is excellent for releasing negative karma and recalling past lives when used in meditation. Amber is also protective when used as a talisman for children and adults. Elysian Fields carries Baltic amber in small stones to use in meditations and in pieces of jewelry, from pendants to bracelets.
