The Metaphysical Properties of Amber

Properties: This ancient petrified resin (possibly pine tree) has

electromagnetic properties. Rubbing a piece of amber with a cloth,

will build up an electric charge that makes it attract small items

such as wood shavings, paper and straw. It is excellent at

detoxification and protection from radiation, especially x-rays, sun,

computers, airport, planes and other people's energies. Due to its

strong connection to nature and the earth, amber is a great stone for

grounding our higher energies. Amber can add stability to your life.

Helpful in clearing up depression and suicidal thoughts therefore,

bringing about a positive mental state. Also useful as a memory aid,

which makes it a good stone for studying. Amber is used for past life

work, divination and scrying. It aligns mental and emotional bodies

via its deep orange and yellow color.

Amber is an Aura cleanser. It assists in bringing our higher

vibrations in order, dispersing negative energy and clears the

surrounding environment. Amber is the stone, which brings about

altruism and great wisdom. Amber is known to attract luck, calm

energies, attract love, inspire change and improve wisdom.

Folk Remedies: Amber is a powerful healer that draws out "dis-ease"

through its detoxifying efforts. It revitalizes tissue, therefore

making it a great "stone" for wound healing, as well as for weight

gain. This stone helps the Throat Chakra known for treating goiter.

Opens Solar Plexus Chakra for mental clarity, mood balance and

confidence. Therefore, helps with stomach anxiety, spine issues,

central nervous system disorders, brain, memory loss and cell

regeneration. Make an elixir with this stone to apply to all pain

issues. Amber is known to stimulate metabolism and treat skin

disorders. It is also a good stone for treating asthma and allergic

reactions.

Feng Shui: Amber is used in the Center/Health position to encourage

good health and create balance and calm. Use it in the Northeast area

for self cultivation and wisdom, in the Southwest area for partners,

love and relationships (use in pairs) and for dispersing negative

energy in any room. Use it in any room to also attract change into

your space.

Crystal Cleansing: Amber should be cleansed after being used for

healing to dispense the negative energy it has absorbed. It tends to

become cloudy when used for treating negative energy. Cleanse this

stone by running it under warm water or charge it over night in a

bowl of tumbled hematite. Be careful as this stone will become

brittle in sunlight if left out for a long period.

History: Amber (resin) (C10H16O+H2S) has a long history of being used

in sacred incense and worn as a healing stone by Asian and American

Indian cultures for centuries. This organic gem can date between 1

and 360 million years. Amber is created by the addition of heat and

pressure to this sticky resin. When leaves or insects are found as

inclusions in this resin, it increases its value. Archeologists have

found amber artifacts dating back to such cultures as Assyrian,

Egyptian, Phoenician and the Greek and Roman periods. It is known by

the Persians as the "attractor of straw", by the Greeks as "sun gold"

and derived from the Arab name "al-anbar".
