Amber Prayer Beads and Their Value Amber prayer beads are presented for use, processed by valuable Turkish masters. They are very valuable. There are two types: drop and pressed amber. Amber is formed from the resin of coniferous trees. Its formation requires many long years. The resin is carried to places like sea deltas and waits in nature for years, hardening and petrifying under the effect of pressure and temperature. Resin that does not encounter sufficient temperature and pressure cannot turn into amber. Thanks to Turkish masters, amber is transformed into works of art, yielding unique amber objects.
