		Amber is a form of tree resin -- exuded as a protective mechanism against disease and insect infestation -- that has hardened and been preserved in the earth's crust for millions of years.
		While hundreds of amber deposits occur around the world, most of them contain only trace amounts of the substance; only about twenty deposits in the world contain amounts of amber large enough to be mined.
		Amber has preserved ancient life to such infinitesimal detail that it even captures fragments of DNA of the organisms entrapped in it.

	Amber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Amber is heterogeneous in composition, but consists of several resinous bodies more or less soluble in alcohol, ether and chloroform, associated with an insoluble bituminous substance.
		Amber was carried to Olbia on the Black Sea, Massilia (today Marseille) on the Mediterranean, and Adria at the head of the Adriatic; and from these centres it was distributed over the Hellenic world.
		Amber and certain similar substances are found to a limited extent at several localities in the United States, as in the green-sand of New Jersey, but they have little or no economic value.

		Amber from the former is older, and thus preferred on the market, but that obtained from the latter is more likely to have insect inclusions.
		Fortunately for new amber enthusiasts, amber from the Baltic states is more widely available on the market than it was in previous years thanks to the liberalisation of the economies of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union.
		The amber, which was from the Lower Cretaceous period, was mined in the mountains of Lebanon south of Beirut by Aftim Acra, who has a collection of amber pieces containing 700 insects, including termites, moths, caterpillars, spiders, pseudoscorpions, and midges, which do, after all, suck their host's blood.

	Amber World Museum :: Dominican Amber fossils inclusions scientific jewelry
		While Baltic amber formed from hardened resin of the pine tree, Pinus Succinifera, amber from the Dominican Republic originated from an extinct species of broad-leaved tropical trees Hymenaea of the legume family, whose closest relative is still found in East Africa.
		Amber lovers, scientists and collectors alike value Dominican Amber for the three rare "treasures", which are scorpions, lizards and frogs.
		The warm beauty of amber caused that for thousands of years it was regarded as a precious substance, and for its mysterious origin considered as a divine protection from harm to the bearer of amber jewelry.

	The Amber Molecular Dynamics Package
		"Amber" refers to two things: a set of molecular mechanical force fields for the simulation of biomolecules (which are in the public domain, and are used in a variety of simulation programs); and a package of molecular simulation programs which includes source code and demos.
		Amber is distributed in source code format, and must be compiled in order to be used.
		Amber is developed in an active collaboration of David Case at The Scripps Research Institute, Tom Cheatham at the University of Utah, Tom Darden at NIEHS, Ken Merz at Florida, Carlos Simmerling at SUNY-Stony Brook, Ray Luo at UC Irvine, and Junmei Wang at Encysive Pharmaceuticals.

		Amber Hagerman (November 25, 1986 - January 17, 1996) was a young girl who was the victim of an abduction, and murder.
		Following her death, the AMBER Alert was formed in the Dallas-Fort Worth area (other locales now also have similar plans) and unveiled in October 1996.
		The system is used by local citizens who work with radio stations and local law enforcement to broadcast news bulletins about abducted children to the general public, in an effort to save children's lives.

	What is amber?
		Amber is the fossilized resin from ancient forests.
		Therefore, amber is formed as a result of the fossilization of resin that that takes millions of years and involves a progressive oxidation and polymerization of the original organic compounds, oxygenated hydrocarbons.
		Amber's specific gravity is slightly over 1 and it floats in saltwater; therefore amber becomes concentrated in estuarine or marine deposits, moved some distance from the original site (Langenheim, 1969, p.

		Amber trade routes of the Phoenicians, Greeks and Romans crossed Europe from the Baltic Sea region, where it was found in great abundance.
		One hypothesis to explain the greater number of insects in Dominican amber is the copious secretion of sticky resin on the bark of the West Indian locust (or its ancestral predecessor).
		Although most Baltic and neotropical amber was formed after the demise of dinosaurs, there are deposits of amber from Bornholm, the eastern United States, Canada and Alaska that date back to the Cretaceous and Jurassic Periods (65 to 180 million years ago).

		AMBER, the near-infrared/red focal instrument of the VLTI, operates in the bands J, H, and, K (ie 1.0 to 2.4 μm).
		The magnitude limits of AMBER are K=7 with Low Resolution (LR-HK) on UTs and K=5 on the ATs, K=4 with Medium Resolution K-band (MR-K) on the UTs and K=1.6 on the ATs, and K=1.5 with High Resolution K-band (HR-K) on UTs.
		Using AMBER with an external fringe tracker (FINITO, now available in P80 on the ATs) it is possible to reach K=3 in all modes ie for LR-KH, MR-K and HR-K. Publications based on data obtained with the AMBER instrument should quote the following reference paper: Petrov, R. et al.
