AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
READ CAREFULLY:
Burmese blue amber refers to a rare and special variety of amber (also called burmite or Myanmar/Burma amber) that displays bluish tones or blue-green optical effects, especially in sunlight, which is the only way to see its blue color.
Burmese amber comes from the Hukawng Valley in northern Myanmar (formerly Burma) and is much older than most ambers: it dates back to the Cretaceous period, about 99-100 million years ago.
Unlike Dominican blue amber, Burmese amber typically exhibits golden-blue tones, floating blue-green hues, or "chameleon" effects, where a blue or blue-green sheen appears on the surface under certain lighting conditions, especially sunlight. These unique colors are reminiscent of the finest opals. We have taken all the photos where it appears blue in natural sunlight, showcasing its full natural beauty, and two photos under white light where it already shows greenish undertones, and a single photo under UV light to demonstrate its reaction and authenticity. This amber is as expensive as Dominican or Mexican amber. It is of very high quality and transparency.
The approximate dimensions of this stone are 7.5x 6 x 3 cm. If you are not truly interested in purchasing this stone, please don't take the opportunity away from someone else. Shipping is insured and includes tracking.
