This is genuine Baltic Amber from Poland.

Please be very careful when purchasing amber as there is so much fake on the market.   This is the real deal! Fakers also melt the amber and insert insects on even just dig a hole in it add an insect and fill it with resin.  Do be careful and buy from a trusted seller.

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. 

Sometimes amber retains the form of drops and stalactites, just as it exuded from the ducts and receptacles of the injured trees.  It is thought that, in addition to exuding onto the surface of the tree, amber resin also originally flowed into hollow cavities or cracks within trees, thereby leading to the development of large lumps of amber of irregular form.

Amber has been historically been used for healing in folk medicine.

The classical names for amber, Latin electrum and Ancient Greek ἤλεκτρον (ēlektron), are connected to a term ἠλέκτωρ (ēlektōr) meaning "beaming Sun". 

According to myth, when Phaëton son of Helios (the Sun) was killed, his mourning sisters became poplar trees, and their tears became elektron, amber. The word elektron gave rise to the words electric, electricity, and their relatives because of amber's ability to bear a static electricity charge.
