Amber Endershifte's OC

This OC belongs to Endershifte
Amber is known as a gemstone which glistens and glows when it's polished. Most gemstones are minerals, however, Amber is not a mineral. Why not? It's because Amber is a hardened resin of specific species of ancient trees which has been fossilized over many years.
Amber is one of the few gem materials not technically considered a mineral. Formed from fossilized tree resins 10 million to 100 million years ago, it is classified as an organic gem. Resin has been known to collect insects, moss, lichen, or leaves in its sticky clutches, preserving them in perfect splendour for thousands of years. Therefore it is very likely to find an insect inside the Amber gemstone. Unlike most gemstones, inclusions can add a great deal to the value of amber – especially if these inclusions are plants or insects that have been trapped inside. Being a gemstone of organic origins, amber requires some special but simple care and handling. Amber is a rather soft gemstone and can be easily scratched.
