Mined from: Mexico

Era: Cenozoic Era
Geological Age: Late Oligocene to Early Miocene, roughly 23 to 15 million years ago

Description: This Amber Tumble from Mexico is a golden relic of deep time—formed from ancient tree resin and fossilized over millions of years. With warm hues ranging from honey gold to deep cognac, each polished piece carries a quiet, organic beauty and a subtle, natural glow. Unlike Baltic or Dominican amber, Mexican amber often comes from lesser-known deposits in Chiapas and remains relatively understudied, lending each piece a sense of mystery and rarity.

Scientifically classified as fossilized tree resin rather than a mineral, amber forms in tropical forest environments where ancient trees once released sap that slowly hardened and was eventually buried beneath layers of sediment. The amber from southern Mexico is now understood to date back to the Late Oligocene to Early Miocene—roughly 23 to 15 million years ago, during the Cenozoic Era. This period marked the flourishing of tropical ecosystems teeming with early mammals, flowering plants, and towering resin-producing trees.

Metaphysically, amber is seen as a symbol of warmth, purification, and ancient wisdom. It is believed to absorb negative energy and support emotional healing. Holding a tumble is like holding a fragment of the Earth’s memory—lightweight yet timeless, glowing softly with the preserved whispers of a vanished forest world.
