Description from the seller
Beautiful Sumatran amber – Unique piece with light-changing effects!
This piece is fully polished to highlight the full color depth and the impressive clarity of the amber.
The smooth surface reveals the stone's characteristic shine and showcases its most refined side – perfect for admiration or as a highlight in any collection.
Some pieces show natural fractures, which are common in amber and result in fascinating reflections and color contrasts.
There are also pieces rich in details that highlight the unique structure of the amber. Notably, these pieces glow bright blue under UV light—a spectacular and magical play of light!
Features of the amber pieces
Fully polished: These pieces are polished to a perfect smoothness to emphasize the beauty and shine of the amber.
Semi-polished versions: there are also pieces available that retain their rough edges, highlighting the natural charm of amber.
Facts about amber
Amber is not a true mineral, but rather a fossilized resin that formed millions of years ago.
It is often associated with healing properties and has been used for centuries in alternative medicine.
Amber could relieve stress, reduce pain, and fight inflammation. Many people also wear it as jewelry because of its calming effect on the body.
Don't miss the chance to own a piece of these natural wonders!
