Dominican red amber is a type of amber with a rare, light coloration. It is found primarily in the amber mines of the mountains near Santiago, Dominican Republic. Commonly called red-shelled amber, it acquires its color because it is the first amber mined, the one closest to the surface, which heats the earth the most. Although little known due to its rarity, it has existed since the discovery of Dominican amber. It reacts to ultraviolet light, as we know. It is estimated to be between 25 and 44 million years old. Clear as water, completely transparent, a unique piece for collectors, never before auctioned on Catawiki, and of high quality. I must also confess its scarcity.

Being one of the most coveted in the world, Dominican red amber is one of the most select and expensive, surpassing Mexican and Baltic amber.
Qualified as an important gem, it has healing and hermetic properties as it helps balance emotions, increases the development of intellectual capacities, providing energy and vitality to its user. It is considered a unique protective amulet, hence its expensive value.
If you are not sure about purchasing this auction, let someone else who is really interested in it bid.
The photos have been taken under white light and natural light, only one under UV light to see its reaction and verify its authenticity.
The measurements are approximate 5x 4 x 3 cm
