Infant Baltic Amber Necklace

This amber necklace is made from Baltic Amber, which is fossilized resin from the sap of conifer trees.  Baltic amber is over 44 million years old.  These necklaces are worn by babies when teething...the common belief is that the child's body heats the amber, causing it to release oils containing succinic acid.  The succinic acid, in theory, gets absorbed into the bloodstream, helping to easy baby's pain.  Be sure to remove the necklace from your baby before putting to sleep.
