Amber, or fossil tree sap.
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS:
Color is amber yellow to orange.
Luster is resinous.
Transparency: Transparent to translucent.
Crystal System does not apply because amber is amorphous (meaning it does not have an ordered structure).
Habits include nodules embedded in shales or sandstones and those that are washed up on beaches.
Fracture is conchoidal.
Hardness is 2+.
Specific Gravity is approximately 1.1 (extremely light and can float in salty water).
Streak is white.
Other Characteristics: Can be burned, fluorescent under UV light and is much tougher (will not crumble as easily) than modern tree resins.
Notable Occurrences include all Baltic countries; Venezuela; Russia; Romania; Burma; in coal seams in Wyoming, USA and the Dominican Republic.
Best Field Indicators are color, density, toughness, softness and trapped insects.

It's a golden colored gemstone which comes from the fossilized resin of ancient trees. It is also the color of the stone and a girl's name, which is just named after the stone, but doesn't really have a meaning.
