AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Dominican green amber is a type of amber that exhibits a rare, clear color. It is most common in the amber mines of the mountains near Santiago, Dominican Republic. Although little known due to its rarity, it has existed since its discovery in the Dominican Republic a few years ago. High quality, premium quality.
Under artificial light, amber appears like ordinary amber, but under sunlight it has an intense fluorescent blue coloration. When held up to the sun, it will appear like ordinary amber, and under ultraviolet light, it will exhibit a brilliant milky blue color. They are estimated to be 25-44 million years old. Clean as water, completely transparent, a unique piece for collection, something never auctioned on Catawiki, high quality.
Being one of the most coveted in the world, Dominican blue amber is among the most exclusive and expensive globally, surpassing Mexican amber 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.
