Mixed lot of amber from the Dominican Republic, Baltic amber, and Burmese blue amber, totaling 80 g.
Description from the seller
Mixed lot prepared for our followers of the world's finest ambers: Dominican red amber, Dominican green amber, Baltic amber, and Burmese blue amber.
80 grams of high-quality, completely translucent amber.
Dominican red and green amber is a type of amber with a clear and uncommon coloration. It is found mainly in the amber mines of the mountains near Santiago, Dominican Republic. Commonly known as red shell amber, it acquires its color because it is the first amber extracted, closest to the surface, which is heated the most by the earth. Although little known due to its rarity, it has existed since the discovery of Dominican amber. It reacts to ultraviolet light, as is already known. It is estimated to be between 25 and 44 million years old. Clear as water, completely transparent, a unique piece for collectors, never before auctioned on Catawiki, and of high quality. I must also confess its scarcity.
Baltic amber of great transparency and quality. This amber, from Poland, is over 35-40 million years old. Its quality makes it one of the most select and exclusive in the world, on par with Mexican or Dominican amber. A truly beautiful piece for a very valuable collection.
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.
