Amber is ancient tree resin that is petrified. It is valuable both as jewelry and artifacts for paleontologists when plants or insects are preserved in it. Join us in making amber look-a-likes using glass stones to preserve your own works of art. Add a magnet and you will have a treasure for your locker or refrigerator!
