6 Different Baltic Amber Colors

When you look at all the types of Amber there are, it can seem as if there are as many colors as there is in the rainbow. Another thought that may also come to mind is if there is a color or colors that work better than others or what color amber is most effective. If not, some question if a certain color is meant to be more effective for certain conditions than others. These questions are useful to ask as they help determine your choice. Before you make a purchase it is important to be able to have the facts rather than the myths that some sites may advertise. All in all, there is actually no single color that is more effective than the other.


What you want to want to look for instead is the quality. True amber is comprised of 3-8% succinic acid, which is the active ingredient responsible for its anti-inflammatory properties. There is no single color that contains more succinic acid, although the lighter colors, namely milk / yellow butter amber followed by lemon and honey, are one of the purest forms of amber mother nature creates. Hence, they do typically contain higher amounts of succinic acid compared to the darker colors, although it is not by much.
