Red Amber Cube Beads forJewelry Making.
These beautiful red Amber cube beads will make wonderful earrings of spacer beads in your pendants or necklaces.
The origin of Amber being the fossilised sap of prehistoric trees -bygone relatives of our pines. These ancient forests were in existence when dinosaurs roamed the globe, and so amber may provide us with a time-capsule from that era, containing information on the flora and fauna extant at the time.
Often, these golden-hued stones are the only document we have on the world back then. As a result of this, Amber specimens with animal, insect or plant inclusions are of great interest to palaeontologists.
To dream of Amber is supposed to foretell a voyage - perhaps related to the finding of amber on the shores of seas. This is due to the density of Amber - Amber has the lowest relative density of all our gem materials, and will float in salt water, whereas most of its imitations will sink. Amber is also triboelectric, and will become electrically charged when rubbed vigorously, enabling it to pick up small pieces of paper.
