What are Amber and Beeswax Amber?

Amber is a fossilized resin formed from the resin of ancient coniferous trees through geological processes. It appears in irregular shapes, often polygonal, and comes in yellow or dark brown colors. In daily life, amber can be used for decorative collections and, in traditional Chinese medicine, as an ingredient in remedies.

Human interest in natural amber dates back a long time. British archaeologists have found amber in graves dating back over 12,000 years. Archaeologists have also discovered amber artifacts along the Baltic Sea coastlines.

When natural amber formed, it absorbed sunlight and rain. Unlike other fossils, it can encapsulate various aspects of its ecosystem, allowing us to glimpse the world from millions of years ago through it.

Differences Between Amber and Beeswax Amber

Amber and Beeswax Amber have similar physical and chemical compositions as fossilized resin. To distinguish them, some people refer to transparent resin as amber and opaque resin as Beeswax Amber. The waxy texture and honey-like color give Beeswax Amber its name. The transparency of amber is related to its succinic acid content, not its age: below 4% is transparent; 4-8% is cloudy and translucent; above 8% is opaque and frothy.

Formation Process of Amber and Beeswax Amber

The formation of natural amber can be summarized in three stages: resin > copal > amber. Tree resin, which is liquid and fragrant, oozes out and forms into drops that eventually harden into copal. When the tree dies, the copal becomes buried in soil and sediment, losing its volatility. Over millions of years, it fossilizes into amber. Many scientists believe that time is the most crucial factor in amber formation, requiring at least 2 to 10 million years for the fossilization process.
