The resin from these ancient forests fossilized over millions of years and is now found primarily along the coast of the Baltic Sea and surrounding areas. Baltic amber is notable for containing a higher percentage (up to 8%) of succinic acid, a substance some believe to have therapeutic properties, which is why it is sometimes referred to as "succinite."

The transparency of Baltic amber can also vary, from completely clear to opaque. Baltic amber has been used since prehistoric times for jewelry, amulets, and decorative items.
