Amber is a type of material made from fossilized tree resin. Although it has been present in Dwarf Fortress since the very first release, amber has never served an in-game purpose as your dwarves cannot produce it (even though the furniture and finished good stockpiles include amber within the "Other Materials" listing). Human civilizations used to be able to produce amber crafts, but these were (are?) exceedingly rare and not any more interesting than a more usual ≡Jet Amulet≡.
Thus very little is known about the material or what its purpose in the game is, though a use might still be implemented in the future. Titans, forgotten beasts, and demons are occasionally made of amber, though like all non-fleshy procedurally generated creatures these only leave pieces of amber behind, which have no use in the game. A peek into the game's raw file indicates that amber has specific nomenclature for powder, paste, and pressed forms, suggesting that it might have at one time been intended for processing.
Amber is one of the three non-implemented organic materials in the game, the others being coral and pearls.
