Metaphysical properties of amber: ... (see Note on Properties) Since amber is fossilized resin, it represents a link between the plant and mineral kingdoms. Its energies are grounding and harmonizing, and it readily shares its subtle vibrational powers with those working with it. It has the ability to balance opposing forces. Amber is said to draw out negative energies, promoting physical, emotional, and spiritual health. It is especially beneficial to the endocrine system, spleen, heart, brain, thyroid, inner ear, and neurological tissue. Amber's subtle energies promote good health. Amber's grounding and stabilizing properties make it a calming stone that can facilitate energy balancing and cleansing. Healers often use amber to shield them and prevent them from taking on the pain of those they heal. It is also said to be an effective block against psychic attacks and energy draining from others. Amber's calming energies can also help to dispel depression and bring about a more positive mental state. Its subtle energies bring joy, inner strength, and peace of mind.
