Amber, instants of our ancient past... Its brightness is magical to me , it is warm to the touch. People used to know amber as a strange golden stone called by the Greeks "amber elektor" which means "sun‘s glare". Amber is not a stone, it is a tree sap hardend into solid after more than forty million years.This material is very difficult to carve because of its softness, a patient, firm and gentle hand it is needed. The amber I carve comes from Chiapas, Mexico.
