The Amber is a piece of fossilized tree resin and appears in three separate locations in the game.
Raquia[]
The Amber gem constitutes one of the items that are necessary to solve the riddles surrounding the acquisition of the Key of Tears from inside Raysiel's Tower.
This particular jewel can be picked from the exquisite stained glass window in the small Chapel in Raysiel's Tower. Along with six other gems, it has to be correctly placed according to the ROYGBIV colour spectrum on the star that has been etched on the floor. Completion of this riddle will yield us the 
Rainbow-coloured Key which is used for opening the door inside the Nightingale Floor Room, allowing us to retrieve the 
Coloured Gem from a small casket, required to access the shimmering walkway in the main hall of the Room of Riddles.
Arqua[]
Combining the 
Pestle with the 
Mortar found in one of the element chambers of Arqua, we can grind the Fossilized Tree Resin, the resulting incense powder 
being representative of the 
Earth element.
Sheol[]
The Amber reappears during our trials in Sheol, where we find it incorporated in one of the puzzles, pertaining to the Third Test to the Key of the Abyss.
Mineral Information[]
Amber is fossilized tree resin, which has been appreciated for its color and natural beauty since Neolithic times. Much valued from antiquity to the present as a gemstone, amber is made into a variety of decorative objects.
Apart from its great appreciation as a gemstone since ancient times, Amber is also used as an ingredient for perfumes and as an healing agent in folk medicine. Succinum, the Latin term for Amber, is classified in China as being sweet in taste. The ground powder is swallowed with water or with a concoction of herbs, and said to act like a "settling" or "heavy" sedative.[1]
The English word amber derives from Arabic ʿanbar عنبر (cognate with Middle Persian ambar) via Middle Latin ambar and Middle French ambre. The classical names for amber, Latin electrum and Ancient Greek ἤλεκτρον (ēlektron), are connected to a term ἠλέκτωρ (ēlektōr) meaning "beaming Sun".
