This gorgeous piece of amber is from the mines of Mexico. It is very high quality, and hand cut. It has a beautiful translucency and wonderful inclusions. Amber is a resin that is exuded from tree bark and protects trees by blocking gaps in the bark. It is believed by many to be a protective and healing stone. It is also millions of years old. Comes on a black adjustable cord. Looks great as a layered piece or just as nice worn alone.
