Copal Amber is tree resin (not tree sap!) that is very old (expert opinions range from 1000 to 100,000 years old) but has not yet gone through the fossilization process that makes real amber (such as Baltic Amber). It has been widely used since antiquity across the globe for the purpose of jewelry making and for incense used in religious rituals.
