Amber is a resin exuded by the pores of a tree called 'Guapinol' in Simojovel, Chiapas.
When a tree breaks one of its branches, or receives a wound caused by an insect or animal, it exudes resin to cover that wound and prevent the spread of fungi and pathogens.
Because the resin is sticky, insects or pieces of branches can become trapped. When exposed to sunlight, the resin hardens and solidifies in a fossilization process that can take thousands to millions of years.
Symbolically, amber represents protection against negative energies, transformation, purification, resilience, vitality, creativity, etc.
