ROUND 6MM AMBER CABOCHON STONE
Christine Alexander Fine Jewellery
Alright, my jewellery-loving darlings, let’s talk about Amber – not just a gemstone but an ancient relic, a fossilised tree resin straight out of Mother Nature’s treasure chest. This little stunner measures a modest 6mm, but don’t let its size fool you. With its mesmerising golden honey hues and charming natural inclusions, it’s like carrying a slice of prehistoric sunshine wherever you go.
Legend has it that Amber is the stone of cleansing and healing, with a connection to both the sun and the earth – a spiritual multitasker, if you will. Whether you believe in its purifying vibes or just adore its undeniable prettiness, this cabochon is a must-have for jewellery makers and gemstone collectors alike.
💡 Fun Amber Facts – Impress Your Friends
- Amber is soft as gemstones go, with a hardness of 2–2.5 on the Mohs scale. Handle it with care, my loves; it’s delicate!
- It’s so light that it practically floats (specific gravity of 1.05–1.10 if you’re into the science bit).
- Heat-treated for enhanced beauty because even natural wonders deserve a little glow-up.
- Sourced from China, Poland, or Lithuania, so it’s got some serious international flair.
And here’s a bonus history nugget: Pliny the Elder (because of course, we’re name-dropping ancient Roman scholars) raved about Amber back in the day, from its origins in Germany to its role in the jewellery of Egypt, India, and Sicily. Oh, and did you know Amber has electrostatic properties? Rub it, and it attracts leaves and chaff. Practical and pretty.
✨ Care Tips – Love Your Amber Like It’s Royalty
Amber is a diva, so treat it like one:
- No ultrasonic cleaners, steam baths, or soap solutions. It’s a hard no.
- Just an untreated cloth for cleaning – keep it simple.
- Avoid heat and prolonged light exposure unless you’re looking for a science experiment instead of a gemstone.
Natural inclusions and slight size variances (+/- 0.25mm) add to its unique charm, so don’t expect cookie-cutter perfection. It’s all part of the Amber experience!
