A striking wedge-shaped rough piece with strong visual contrast: two faces retain the dark brown, weather-worn outer cortex, while the cleaved surfaces expose a vivid bright golden-amber interior. This contrast is one of the most visually appealing aspects of unpolished Baltic amber - the raw earthy exterior giving way to glowing warm orange-gold wherever the natural crust has broken away.
Baltic amber from Poland, fossil resin from ancient coniferous trees approximately 44-50 million years old. No treatments applied. The shape and exposed facets make this a fine candidate for wire wrapping or lapidary work, or it can simply be appreciated as a natural specimen showing amber in its most honest, unworked state.
Natural rough Baltic amber, untreated - sold as a single piece.

About amber
Amber is fossilized tree resin, not a mineral, so it is very light and feels warm to the touch. At 2 to 2.5 on the Mohs scale it scratches very easily.
Cleaning
Rinse it briefly in lukewarm water, loosen dirt with a soft brush and let it air-dry. Skip ultrasonic and steam cleaners: amber is soft and melts or cracks with heat. Keep alcohol, perfume, hairspray and solvents away from it: they dissolve its surface.
Wear and storage
Store it on its own in a soft pouch or a padded box, away from harder stones. It is soft enough to be scratched by a fingernail, so handle it gently.
