Commonly referred to as tree sap, amber is anything but sap. Amber forms from resin and contains succinic acid, or succinite. Sap is the fluid substance which flows in the heartwood of the tree and provides nutrients to the tree itself. Resin flows beneath the bark and protects the tree when it's wounded by boring insects or loses a branch due to storm damage. Resin flows like syrup and has a distinct piney, sweet smell

Amber is not derived from trees directly. It is fossilized tree resin, primarily from ancient pine trees. This resin solidified over millions of years and became amber through a process of polymerization.
