Amber - "The Gold of the North"

Amber - known to mineralogists as succinite, from the Latin succinum, which means amber – is fossilised tree resin dating back 40-60 million years.

Amber has a long long history and was highly valued by the Greeks, Phoenicians and Romans because it was not only said to bring good luck but it was also believed to have magical properties and was used to fend off asthma, rheumatism and other diseases.

Unique in its look and appearance amber is truly recognised, even today, as the gold of the North. Henryka is proud to be a leading provider of amber jewellery which is without a doubt one of the most individual and unusual organic products.
