Cretaceous Age (66-145 million years ago) Burmese amber, also referred to as Burmite or Kachin amber, is an ancient gemstone with both scientific and cultural significance. Mined from northern Myanmar’s Hukawng Valley, this 99-million-year-old fossil resin has been admired for its golden to reddish-brown translucence for centuries. Historically, amber was used for jewelry, amulets, and ornamental carvings and was believed to have protective and healing properties. Today, Burmese amber is treasured not only as a collectible gemstone but also as a window into Cretaceous forests, often containing exquisitely preserved insects, plant matter, and other prehistoric inclusions.
