Butterscotch amber is characterized by its milky white to creamy yellow shade. It is also referred to as Royal Amber, Antique Amber, Yolk Amber and even more simply, White Amber or Yellow Amber.

The opaque nature of Butterscotch Amber is caused by tiny bubbles trapped within the resin, from the trees on which it once lay. When viewed under an microscope, Butterscotch amber consists of clear resin with millions of dispersed bubbles. It is the reflections of light on these bubbles that cause the stone to appear a milky color versus translucent like traditional amber.
