Amber is defined by its color and the region it comes from. If the seller stipulates a certain quantity, such as one or two pieces, the contract is valid. If no quantity is stipulated, the seller may provide pieces that are small or large. Some suggest that amber is a plant created by Allah on the shores of the sea.
