Amber is a semiprecious - organic stone which assembled in Baltic sea and processed in Lithuiania and exported to many countries. Ukraine, Romania, Sweden, England, Holland and Sicily are some of the countries that have large Amber regions.Amber is activity stone because of its clear shape and incorporating insects. It is very soft and light. There are two types of Amber. First one is reddish yellow or yellow that has red in it. It has insects and material which seemed insect and air bubbles in its own structure. It is electrified with any friction so can collect light particles. Second one is matt yellow. It is known as outworn Amber. If outworn Amber contacts with any part of body, it emits warmth.Old Mycenaes who established commercial relationship with Bronz age cultures in Baltic, had exchanged Amber which used for making necklace, with bronz and copper. So, on the one hand they had had new material objects and different ornament stuff. On the other hand they had presented their technical specialist to the European Countries which is less developed. Conclusively, a great number of glass beads had been exported to thousands of miles away by old Phonecian and Roman?s marine civilizations.
