Amber is a gemstone that was discovered hundreds of millions of years ago. Until recently, it was believed that the origin of the stone was related to the resin of coniferous trees. It froze due to changes in environmental conditions, and this is how amber appeared.
However, mineralogists have come to the conclusion that, most likely, the origin of the mineral from tree resin is a mistaken opinion. The fact is that amber has many deposits. All the trees growing on our planet would not be enough for them to arise. Therefore, mineralogists are increasingly inclined to believe that amber is not the resin of frozen trees.
However, the origin of the stone does not in any way affect the healing properties of amber, nor the magical properties of amber, which esotericists and healers have known about for a very long time.
Leo, Gemini
For Leo women, amber will be a good protector from the evil eye; it is able to absorb negative energy directed at them. Men can also wear the stone; it will generally help them improve their tone and strengthen their intuition.
Amber will also help Geminis, who by nature are often tormented by doubts and, in accordance with their element, cannot fixate on one thing; they are characterized as flighty personalities, so the use of the mineral becomes necessary. The stone helps to focus attention on one goal, and in addition, bring the work started to a logical conclusion, protecting them from empty information.
What stones should Libras not wear?
Many sources contain information about minerals that are not suitable for Libra. These are serpentine, hematite and black jet. Yes, these recommendations should be taken into account and you should choose an amulet that is suitable according to various criteria - gender, date and year of birth, immediate goals, etc.
However, there is another significant rule of choice - the stone must energetically suit its owner. This is easy to check - just try on the jewelry or take the gem in your hand. If it gives off a pleasant feeling of warmth, then it can become a reliable talisman. At the same time, these sensations can be felt even from a stone that does not fit the horoscope. In this case, the recommended contraindications can be neglected.
The only condition under which a stone cannot be worn is if it is severely cracked or split due to some negative situation (accident, illness of the owner, etc.). This stone is contraindicated for wearing. It has absorbed negative energy and can weaken your defenses.

Virgo
If Virgo wants to improve her mental abilities and begin to quickly perceive the information she needs, amber jewelry can help, which in addition also strengthens the will of the spirit, resistance to depression and bad mood, which is especially characteristic of the strong half of the representatives of this sign. Virgos themselves are very unsociable people; it is difficult for them to be in large companies; in order to become more relaxed, they should actively use the mineral in their lives so that the process of meeting new people becomes more comfortable for them.
Origin of the stone and its deposits
More than 50 million years ago there was land on the territory of what is now Sweden and part of the modern Baltic Sea. A huge number of coniferous trees grew on it, which allowed the mineral to form. The process of amber formation itself consisted of several successive stages.
- Stage I
Due to the sharp warming of the climate, when hurricanes and thunderstorms began, coniferous trees began to release resin especially actively. We were talking about a special resin-resin, which served as a natural antiseptic.
The substance dried quickly and formed a smooth, barely noticeable crust at the site of damage to the tree, protecting the pine. Since resin has a thick and sticky consistency, clots and drops constantly appeared on the trunks.
Under their own weight, after drying, they fell off and ended up on the ground.

- Stage II
The next stage, explaining the origin of amber, is associated with the physicochemical conditions in which the resin finds itself. If the hardened resin fell on dry soil, the stability of the resin increased under the influence of oxygen. On swampy ground, the resin remained as fragile as before.
- Stage III
At the third stage of amber formation, it had to fall into water. The water required was silt, rich in potassium and saturated with oxygen. Upon contact with the resin, succinic acid and its esters appeared, under the influence of which the mineral was formed.
Before the resin of ancient pines turned into amber, it had a long way to go
Where is amber mined?
Having figured out where amber comes from, it’s time to clarify where it is mined. All deposits are divided into two large groups:
- primary;
- secondary.
Primary deposits have a certain relationship to places where coal is mined. The amber stone in them is distributed unevenly. We are talking about such allochthonous deposits as Uglovskoye, Alaskanskoye and Fushunskoye.
Secondary deposits are understood as placers of stone, which, due to certain circumstances, turned out to be significantly distant from their original locations.
Currently, the main place of extraction of ornamental stone, which is tens of millions of years old, is the territory from the North to the Black Sea, partially covering Denmark, Germany, Poland, and Ukraine.
Capricorn, Aries, Cancer
Capricorns actively absorb the joy of life from amber; it gives them only positive emotions, especially when they wear it closer to their body. At the same time, it is not recommended to wear the stone constantly because of the quality of the mineral, it accumulates negativity, which, as a result of overflow, it can splash out on its owner, especially if this is a young representative of this sign.
As for Aries, representatives of this zodiac circle often suffer due to the lack of stable willpower; they do not know how to complete a task and often give up or spoil everything themselves halfway through. Amber helps them find their inner core and emphasizes their spontaneity. Women will be able to conquer men with their charm if they carry the mineral with them.
Healing properties of the stone
The healing properties of amber were discovered by healers a long time ago.

External manners and balanced emotions disappear without a trace when Libra feels a loss of balance, so astrologers advise them to select minerals that can keep the sign from negativity in any situation.
Pisces and Scorpio

The stone will help them constantly remain cheerful and demonstrate the numerous talents that almost every representative of this sign possesses.
What will Scorpio get from the sun stone, since its element is water? Scorpios are already very active people, their ability to distribute their own forces and manage to be on time everywhere surprises and amazes most other signs, but they also have a negative quality - secrecy and isolation. Sometimes it seems that even if Scorpio is near you, he is now somewhere else. Representatives of the water element, using amber jewelry, will become more sociable and open to the world, but it is better to use the bright colors of the mineral.
Types of stone
Many people believe that amber has an exclusively golden hue. This is a misconception. The stone contains many impurities that determine its color. The most common minerals found in nature are golden, yellow and orange. They are called "sun" stones. They have an affordable price due to their prevalence. This mainly explains the popularity of such ornamental minerals. In addition, there are completely transparent waxy stones. There are also red-yellow minerals.
Amber stone can have a cherry or red hue. It is called "Dragon's Blood". Such minerals resemble rubies and are therefore highly valued in jewelry. Red amber, as well as cherry mineral, is very rare in nature, and therefore has a high price. If we talk specifically about how much amber of this shade costs, then for a small pebble users will have to pay more than 1000 rubles.
White amber is also found. In fact, this stone has a yellow tint. The appearance of white color is created by the bubbles that are present in the stone.
In addition, there are green stones. Colorless minerals are also found in nature. Moreover, green amber has the same magical properties as minerals of other colors. In addition, the shade of the stone does not affect how strong the mineral will have healing properties.
Libra and Aquarius
Libras are characterized by frequently changing moods; it is very difficult for them to find a point of balance, so in amber they can find a good mood for themselves and self-confidence. Massive jewelry will not suit them; it is better to use delicate work that will look neat on the body.
But for Aquarius, amber will help them become more squat, which will not harm them at all, because by their nature they are accustomed to living in dreams and rarely want to return from them. From the mineral they will also receive perseverance, fearlessness and organization.
