Amber
Legend
“The translucent cyan Amber coming from Lake Mirror is said to be shell fragments of Vornir tears. Making it the most sought out Amber in the world.”
History
Amber is tree resin fossilized and appriciated since the Dark Ages. Its made into a variety of Item and Object decorations. Especially as jewelery but has also been used as a healing agent.
Some Amber is mined through dangerous bell pitting in unsafe tunnels and most often Amber rich areas become conflict zones. Some is illegally mined by organised crime groups, deforesting areas causing severe environmental deterioration.
Yellow amber is a hard fossil resin from evergreen trees, and despite the name it can be translucent, yellow, orange, or brown coloured.  The resin’s most popular use is, however, for ornamentation—easily cut and polished, it could be transformed into beautiful jewelry. Much of the most highly prized amber is transparent, in contrast to the very common cloudy amber and opaque amber. Opaque amber contains numerous minute bubbles.

Cartography
Amber is globally distributed, mainly in rocks which are mined or washing ashore as pieces of amber torn from the seafloor are cast up by the waves and collected by hand, dredging, or diving. Dirt and an opaque crust must be cleaned off, which can be done in revolving barrels with sand and water. Erosion removes this crust from sea-worn amber.

Organization
Fundamentally theres two sorts of Amber, coming from plant resin. The composition of these resins is highly variable, as each species produces a unique blend.

Special
When gradually heated in an oil-bath, it becomes soft. Heated pieces may be united by smearing the surfaces with linseed oil, and then pressing them together.
