This room was destroyed during WWII, but has since been completely restored using newly mined amber. Our natural amber beads are a deep golden yellow color. The transparency and warm color of these amber beads makes them seem to glow from within. Many of the beads have delicate brown-colored inclusions that provide interesting depth and texture.

More About Amber
Amber is not a rock or a mineral, but rather a very lightweight, golden yellow colored organic gemstone. Amber is tree resin, principally from extinct coniferous trees, that has become fossilized. Most of the world's amber is in the range of 30–90 million years old!
