Causes of amber formation
1. In ancient China, amber was once called Hu Bo, Yu Pei, Beast Bo, Shield Mou, Zhu Jiang, Heritage Jade, etc. The soul of a dead tiger turned to stone, or amber is a tear shed by a tiger. These legends include the speculation and pursuit of amber by ancient people in China, which shows that people think amber has the function of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil and calming the nerves.
2. In the eyes of ancient emperors, amber also had extraordinary significance. According to records, "The Temple of Heaven decorated the emperor's beads with lapis lazuli, amber, coral and turquoise."
3. Amber is an organic mixture, which was formed by the resin of coniferous plants from Mesozoic Cretaceous to Cenozoic Tertiary.
The formation of amber generally has three stages. In the first stage, resin is secreted from cypress. In the second stage, the resin was deeply buried and petrified, and the composition, structure and characteristics of the resin changed obviously. The third stage is that the petrochemical resin is washed, transported, deposited and diagenetic, thus forming amber.
