Description from the seller

Indonesian amber belongs to the desirable fossil resins of Asia and is valued for its often distinctive colors, its transparency and its interesting UV reaction. Free-form specimens of this quality with pronounced red tones, clearly visible internal structures and intense fluorescence are relatively rare and possess a very own appeal for collectors.

This impressive free-form piece of Indonesian amber fascinates with its exceptional transparency and spectacular color variations. Honey-, cognac- and smoky brown tones alternate with deep amber-colored areas, which when backlit shift into intense red and orange tones and give the piece an almost glowing appearance.

Depending on the light incidence, new color play and reflections continuously arise, making the free form look different from every viewpoint.

A distinctive feature of this piece appears under UV light: some parts appear in intense blue to purple hues and create a fascinating contrast with the warm amber colors. This fluorescence gives the piece an extra dimension and makes it particularly interesting for collectors.

The high-gloss polishing strikingly emphasizes the natural beauty of the amber, while the free-form design preserves the organic structures of the original tree resin. This results in a unique display piece that is admired both for its transparency and for its vivid coloration.
