Vintage Sterling Silver & Amber Pendant with Bail for Necklace

Amber is considered a gemstone, although it's actually an organic compound and not a mineral at all. It's actually made from fossilized hardened tree resin. Today most amber in the world is mined or collected from Europe, near the Baltic Sea. Amber is believed to have positive effects on the human psyche and is believed to calm and protect. It can be worn as a brooch or as a necklace. Marks: 925 Size: 2 3/4" x 1" Professionally appraised by Dr. Lori V
