Museum Story
Sometimes called "the golden gem of the ages," amber is often found in coastal areas—especially from the Baltic Sea where it is sometimes found on the shore after a storm. Since the Stone Age amber has been prized and revered by many cultures—for its beauty and for its supposed curative and magical powers. Amber is curated by the Mineral Sciences Department at our National Museum of Natural History.
