Copal , sometimes referred to as " young amber ", is a fossilized resin originating primarily from tropical regions, including Colombia, where some of the oldest and most beautiful specimens are mined. Unlike classic amber, which is millions of years old, copal is usually several thousand to hundreds of thousands of years old. This places it among the less mature fossilized resins that have not yet fully polymerized, thus retaining their unique natural beauty and interesting properties.
In recent years, interest in Colombian copal has grown not only among collectors and lovers of natural jewelry, but also among scientists who study its chemical composition and origin.
