Description

Amber is fossilized tree resin from ancient forests. It is usually transparent, though sometimes translucent. The most valued pieces contain preserved insects. Even small lizards have been found preserved in amber. If allowed to dry excessively, or if left out in the sun, amber may develop fine cracks. Large amounts of amber have been found in the Baltic region, in southern Europe, and in the Dominican Republic. Real amber is less dense than plastic or glass imitations. It is said that real amber will float in a saturated salt solution, whereas imitations will not. Amber is sometimes called "Freya's Tears," and is associated with this goddess of Northern Europe. Warriors once carried amber charms for luck in battle, which probably came from the association with Freya. The Greeks were the first to discover the electrical properties of amber rubbed with cloth. Their word for amber -- elektron -- gave us the word " electricity." Because amber is warm to the touch and sometimes fragrant, it is associated with sensuality and is a traditional part of love charms. Gazing at amber was supposed to improve eyesight. The golden-yellow color and its origins as plant material
associate amber strongly with the sun.

The name of the wallpaper is Freya's Tears which as you see here means Amber, hope you like it.
