"I am absolutely delighted with my purchase of Baltic amber. The piece is almost a dead ringer for the one shown on JTV's website. It is large and full of beautiful orange and amber colors. I am hoping to have it set in gold and will be checking with my local artisans as to who will do the best work for me. I am an American whose grandparents came from Russia in the early 1900's, landing at Ellis Island, and amber has very special meaning to me. Thank you JTV for making my day."

"Ilove amber and this was such a beautiful piece. I would have ordered ten more but it says SOLD OUT. I hate seeing those words. Hope you get more larger pieces like this in . This one will definitely be going towards a piece of jewelry for ME."

"This wonderful product is just amazing! I've bought others from JTV - sometimes very small, sometimes too dark, sometimes just nice - all a learning experience - but this particular item was just an absolute feast for the eyes. I could stare at it under the microscope for hours. I hope other members will be as thrilled with their pieces as I am with mine!!"

Fast Facts
| A complex mixture of pine resins, acids and volatile oil compose the fossilized organic substance we know as amber. Dating back at least 30 million years, amber comes from the tree sap of certain pine trees. |
| Treasured since the dawn of civilization, amber has enjoyed at least 70 centuries of popularity and has played a key role in the development of multiple societies. |
| Amber is flammable and a match will cause it to ignite, creating a smell like incense. |
 The Baltic Sea is the primary source for amber. It washes ashore along the edge of the Lithuania or it is found through pit mining.
