Description from the seller

Indonesian amber belongs to the coveted fossil resins of Asia and is valued for its often exceptional colors, its transparency, and its interesting UV response. Free-form pieces of this quality with pronounced red hues, clearly visible internal structures, and intense fluorescence are relatively rare and possess a very particular appeal for collectors.

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

Depending on the angle of light, new plays of color and reflections arise, making the free-form piece look different from every viewpoint.

A distinctive feature of this piece appears under UV light: certain parts appear in intense blue to purple shades, creating a fascinating contrast with the warm amber tones. This fluorescence gives the piece an extra dimension and makes it particularly interesting to collectors as well.

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