Amber is Lithuanian gold
Lithuanians treat amber as a gold. As all Europe was for ages covered with forests, the drops of resin that fell from trees did not dissolve in water
and were carried by rivers to the sea. It was a long journey, so various objects became trapped in the resin on the way, including insects, spines of
plants, grass and soil of different colors. After remaining for thousands of years at the bottom of the Baltic Sea, these pieces of resin have turned
into amber, which is referred to as the gold of Lithuania. Unique properties of amber used to craft jeweler, as well as in the form of amber powder,
oil and incense in spas. Stormy seas still throw up pieces of amber and finding some is a real joy.
