AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Dominican green amber is a type of amber that exhibits a rare, clear coloration. It is most common in amber mines in the mountains near Santiago, Dominican Republic. Although little known due to its rarity, it has been around since the discovery of Dominican amber. (amber dominicano) clean as water, high quality AAA, (fossil insects in amber, such as a fly and mosquitoes).
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 select and most expensive in the world, surpassing (Mexican amber and Baltic amber).
