Amber deposits have been found that range between one and 360 million years old and belong between the Carboniferous and Pleistocene geological periods. As sticky resin oozed from ancient pine trees, small insects, plant material, feathers and other small objects in the path of flow became entrapped. Over time, the resin was encased in dirt and debris. Through a process of heat and pressure, it fossilized to become the gemstone Amber.
