Get to Know a Crystal Daily | Amber

Welcome to Get to Know a Crystal Daily. In this series, we break down the basics of popular crystals—from their origins to their energy. Today, we’re starting with Amber.

While technically not a crystal—it's actually fossilized tree resin—amber is widely used in crystal healing practices for its powerful therapeutic properties. Best known as an alternative remedy for teething pain, amber necklaces are often used for babies (worn under supervision, not for chewing) due to its anti-inflammatory effects.
