Amber is a warm, golden yellow gemstone made from fossil resin that is valued for its protective and healing energy. It is said to promote joy, vitality and positive energy. Amber plays a particularly important role in Tibetan jewelry, where it is a symbol of wisdom and protection. It is traditionally used in elaborate prayer chains, amulets and ritual objects and is often combined with coral or turquoise.
