Amber is probably the first gemstone to be worn as jewellery; it was used in adornment making as far ago as Neolithic epoch of the Bronze and the Iron Ages. Because amber stone, unlike gemstones, is warm to the touch and often contains insect fragments, it was thought to possess life. It was sacred to worshippers of the Mother Goddess in classical times because it was believed to contain the very essence of life-the animating principle. Amber from the Baltic region is generally accepted as the world’s finest. Amber jewellery has been made since before the time of Christ; at the height of the Roman Empire amber was called "gold of the north." In ancient times, amber stone was burned to cleanse the air, especially during childbirth. It was also thought to improve eyesight by gazing into it. For centuries, amber jewellery was worn solely by the rich and was not affordable to the masses. Because amber was thought to possess healing properties, it came to be used medicinally in many cultures. Even today it is thought that wearing amber jewellery will instill confidence in the wearer, balance a person's mood, and lessen depression and anxiety.
