The psychology, symbolism and cultural history of Amber.
In many Western cultures, amber symbolizes wisdom and protection, often linked to the earth and nature. Conversely, in some Asian cultures, it is viewed as a representation of wealth and prosperity, highlighting its dual significance across different societies.
The term 'amber' comes from the Arabic word 'anbar', referring to a substance used in perfumery. In the 11th century, amber was highly valued in trade routes connecting Europe and Asia, with pieces found in ancient burial sites indicating its use as early as 3000 BCE.
