One of the few organic gemstones, amber is formed through fossilization or resin tree. Derived from the Middle Persian name Ambar, amber is usually confused with ambergris, which was used to produce fragrance. However, they both can easily be distinguished based on their densities with Amber being denser than ambergris.
