** Fossilized Amber **
Amber is a fossilized tree resin that has been appreciated for its color and natural beauty since Neolithic times. Much valued from antiquity to the present as a gemstone, amber is made into a variety of decorative objects. Amber is used in jewelry. It has also been used as a healing agent in folk medicine.
There are five classes of amber, defined based on their chemical constituents. Because it originates as a soft, sticky tree resin, amber sometimes contains animal and plant material as inclusions. Amber occurring in coal seams is also called resinite, and the term ambrite is applied to that found specifically within New Zealand coal seams.

With over 40 years of experience, we here at the Smoky Mountain Relic Room have built friendships with the men and women who discover the fossils we sell. We spend a lot of time working with fossil diggers and Paleontologists to ensure the species and bones are 100% accurate, and that every fossil we sell was collected legally on private property with permission.
