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 (Dominican amber).
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. It is estimated to be 25-44 million years old. It is as clear as water, completely transparent, a unique piece for a collection, something never before 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.
Qualified as an important gem, it has healing and protective 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 high value.
