Amber is fossilized tree resin from extinct conifer trees. The oldest known Amber was formed during the Upper Carboniferous period 320 million years ago. It became more abundant during the Early Cretaceous period 130 million years ago. It is most often a yellow or golden color, but it also can be found in green, red, blue, orange and brown. It sometimes contains animal or plant material and has been known to preserve the DNA of these materials. Tree resins that have not fossilized sufficiently to become Amber are called Copal or Copalite tree resins. Amber has been appreciated for its beauty by humankind since Neolithic times. It was discussed by the ancient Greeks in historical texts as early as the fourth century B.C. It is discussed by Pliny the Elder in his book The Natural History which was written between 23 and 79 A.D. It was so precious during ancient times that there were trade routes for Amber known as the Amber Road. It has been used for perfume, incense, and jewelry.
