Product Description
Six squares of inclusion filled green amber are set in sterling silver to create a beautiful cross. On a plain sterling silver bail. (Dim: 27mm x 20mm cross with 10mm bail). For thousands of years people have been fascinated by amber. It represents luck, healing, strength, and protection. Through the ages amber has been worn as an amulet, used for barter and burned as incense. It has adorned both queens and peasants. Amber is fossilized tree resin from the Pinus Succinifera, which lived 40 to 60 million years ago. The ancient people of Europe believed it was petrified bits of the sunset and the ancient Chinese thought amber contained the soul of the tiger, which is a mighty symbol in Chinese folklore.
