Amber Stone

Amber Gemstone is a semi-precious stone growing organically, and the older it is, the more powerful it is. This warm-hued stone radiates like the sun and carries tremendous energies. Its name is derived from the Lower Saxon word "Börnen," meaning "burning". Since it stays underground for years, tiny insects and creatures get trapped in the resin during its process of solidifying or fossilizing. Amber is categorized as an organic gemstone. The most interesting thing about this stone is that it develops magical properties and imbues Earth's energy during its formation.

It helps heal the energy of the wearer and connects an individual with his/her higher self. It is deeply associated with sensuality, persistence, creativity, healing, cleansing, and protection. It blesses the wearer with mental power and a clear mind.

Amber is typically orange or brown and has a range of transparencies. It measures from 1 to 3 on the Mohs scale of hardness. Amber signifies purification and renewal.

Like other gemstones, the quality of Amber is also determined by the four Cs (Color, Cut, Carat, Clarity).

Color

The best quality amber gemstones are gleaming orange and yellow with golden tones.

Cut

Best quality amber gemstones have cuts that maximize the effect of hue, tone, saturation and surface area.

Carat

Amber of 3 carats and above is most popular in Vedic Astrology. Significant smaller and larger Amber are used in contemporary jewelry. Generally, the price of Amber rises as the size/weight/carat increases.

Clarity

Best quality amber gemstones have intense and vivid honey-like colors.

Traders deal in Amber stones which are synthetic to natural but which are treated/heated and color enhanced, so it is immensely important to purchase only from a reputed dealer with certification from a reputed lab.

Amber gemstone Price

The price of Amber gemstone depends on its size, its cut, as well as its origin in terms of color and clarity. In the case of amber, the inclusions are often a deciding factor in the price, even though most ambers are sold free of these. Rich saturation of color is key.

When a gemstone is heat-treated or undergoes the dying process, its healing properties are lost when it is worn. Amber has numerous curative properties; to maximize its curative effects, only untreated Amber stone should be worn.

The price of genuine, natural and unheated, untreated Amber gemstones at Rudra Centre ranges from INR 9,035 to INR 11,015 (USD 112 to USD 137).

How to Identify or Test Original & Authentic Amber?

The best way to check the authenticity of Amber is by getting a Lab tested report from a reputed laboratory. Rudra Centre only deals with Vedic Astrology approved gemstones that are natural, untreated, and unheated. All our Amber are certified by reputable labs like GIA, GLI, IGI and IGITL.

Look for flaws along with inclusions. Use a magnifying glass with at least 10x magnification to examine the Amber carefully. Look for specks and blemishes, as they form with minute particles of other material. These flaws are strong evidence that an Amber is genuine. Lab-created (fake) Amber have no inclusions of this nature, and neither do natural Amber, but if you find flaws, then your Amber is genuine.

Examine the gemstone for air bubbles. Essentially, lab-created Amber are glass that has undergone a process similar to that which forms natural Amber. Since they are made of glass, they retain miniscule air bubbles after formation. If there are bubbles within the Amber, it is not genuine. Be sure to inspect your Amber from every angle by turning it over. There is a possibility that bubbles of air will only be evident from a single angle.

Look at how light is reflected by the Amber. Turn off all the lights and shine your flashlight on the Amber. If it is genuine, it will only reflect light of the same hue as itself. If it is a fake, made of glass, it will reflect colors other than the natural color of the gem.

Amber Cleaning & Maintenance

Amber is softer than most gemstone minerals and many other organic substances. It falls between a Mohs hardness of 2 and 2.5. Amber is also fragile, so care must be taken not to scratch or damage it when wearing it.

Amber burns at temperatures that are relatively low. It may also darken with prolonged exposure to light and can be harmed by chemicals.
