Description from the seller
This extraordinary sample of Indonesian blue amber, originating from the island of Sumatra, takes us on a journey through the Middle Miocene, a fascinating period between 15 and 20 million years ago. Known for its rare blue fluorescence, this gem is an authentic geological masterpiece. Its captivating glow is generated by hydrocarbons trapped in the fossilized resin, a phenomenon that occurs only in some rare ambers, including those from the Dominican Republic and Indonesia.
