Tears of the Gods

Amber, the “Tears of the Gods”, “Hardened Honey” and “Sunlight Solidified", was also known as “Elektron” by the Greeks. Amber is a common stone found in Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Poland and Russia.

 

It comes in various shades of pale yellow, golden brown, yellow-green, honey, dark red and dark brown (called black) and is transparent or translucent. It is a fossilized tree resin (not tree sap). Tree resin which is less than 100,000 years old is called Copal.

 

Copal becomes Amber when it has finished fossilizing. Copal from Madagascar and Columbia is between 250 to 10,000 years old. Amber from the Baltics and the Dominican Republic are 25 to 40 million years old.

 

Amber dispels and transmutes negative energy of all kinds and will protect the emotional body from psychic attacks and psychic vampires; it will also shield against taking on other people’s pain whilst undertaking healing work.

 

It encourages peacefulness and helps develop trust. It brings balance, patience and encourages decision making and is a useful memory aid. It promotes moving forward on your life path and removes the mental blocks that are there and helps turn the manifestation of ideas into reality. Like Citrine it can help with the manifestation of money. It can help counteract suicidal or depressive tendencies.

 

Archaeologists have found beautifully carved amber pieces in graves, dating back to around 8000 B.C. It is good for babies who are teething. Amber has an electrical charge when rubbed, and was called 'Elektron' by the ancient Greeks, and this is thought to be the origin of the word electricity.

 

Hippocrates, the “Father of Medicine”, described the medicinal qualities and different ways of application of Amber. During the plagues in the Middle Ages, Amber was burned to fumigate the streets which saved a lot of lives and it was recommended as an excellent preventive measure.
