Interest in amber has grown in recent years owing both to its beauty as jewellry and its fascinating insect inclusions. Amber is a remarkable substance that originates from the resin of trees that lived millions of years ago. Anything that became trapped in this sticky resin was fossilised and perfectly preserved. The insects and other inclusions found in amber today are providing scientists with unique insights into the history of life on earth.
