Museum Provenance

Gem-quality Baltic amber, formed from conifer trees fossilized for 30 to 60 million years, is found along the southeastern shores of the Baltic Sea, especially near Gdansk, Poland, and the Russian exclave, Kaliningrad. Cognac, lemon and green are the most usual Baltic amber colors. Baltic amber in our Janet Annenberg Hooker Hall of Geology, Gems and Minerals, National Museum of Natural History, inspired this Amber Legend Pendant Necklace.
