SUCCINITE Fossilized Resin Rediscovered
Alzheimer's and Dementia: A New Perspective on Baltic Amber
Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
Amber is a fossilized plant resin from millions of years ago,
a mixture of organic and inorganic compounds. It can be
classified as a mineraloid, i.e. a natural substance different from
minerals. It contains groups of various elements and mixtures of
chemical compounds. Mineraloids include pearls, jet, obsidian,
opal. Baltic amber, also referred to as succinite, was probably
created by damage to trees, as a result of which resin, containing
compounds protecting tree structure, leaked.
Baltic amber is a complex molecular structure which, as a
result of millions of years of transformations, has acquired a
unique structure, additionally enriched with plant compounds
occurring on earth over millions of years. Succinite because that
is how Baltic amber is described in the scientific language, shows
supramolecular structures and each amber study reveals new
compounds known from plants.
