Amber Crystal

This crystal is listed as Amber Crystal (shop SKU VAMB4), and is sold at Namaste Bookshop near Union Square.

Amber is fossil tree resin, typically golden to brown, sometimes with visible inclusions. It is softer than most gemstones and should be kept away from heat and solvents.

Natural stones vary in color, clarity, and shape, so the piece you receive will have its own character even when the weight, grade, or size is listed.

Namaste Bookshop is on the south side of 14th Street, just west of Fifth Avenue, about a short walk from Union Square.
