The definition of amber: fossilized natural plant resin. The formula can be roughly C10H16O. For amorphous bodies, the interior contains plant debris, small animals and other inclusions and streamline structure.
Amber is a resin fossil embedded in the ground and formed by certain chemical changes tens of thousands of years ago. It is an organic mineral. The shape of the amber is varied, the surface often retains the original flow of resin produced when the bubble, often visible bubbles and ancient insects or plant debris. It can be used as medicine and decoration.
A mixture of a variety of ingredients, usually amorphous solids, having a slightly shiny surface, hard and brittle, and a few semi solids. Insoluble in water, nor water swelling, soluble in alcohol, ether, chloroform and other organic solvents. Heating, softening, and finally melting, burning when there is smoke, and has a special aroma or odor. It is divided into two categories: natural resin and synthetic resin.
Resins are normally considered as normal metabolites or secretions of plant tissues, often in the ducts of ducts or ducts, especially in the heartwood of perennial woody plants, in combination with volatile oils.
