Description from the seller

This blue amber comes straight from the source, from the mines of Sumatra, Indonesia. 100% authentic pieces of amber, guaranteed by me as an experienced seller.

Indonesian amber belongs to the coveted fossil resins of Asia and is valued for its often distinctive colors, its transparency and its interesting UV reaction. Free forms 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 from Indonesian amber fascinates with its special transparency and spectacular color variations. Honey-, cognac- and smoky-brown tones alternate with deep amber areas, which, when backlit, shift to intense red and orange hues and give the piece a nearly glowing appearance.

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

A special feature of this piece appears under UV light: some parts then appear in intense blue to purple tones, creating a fascinating contrast with the warm amber colors. This fluorescence gives the piece an extra dimension and also makes it especially interesting for collectors.

The high-gloss polishing strikingly emphasizes the natural beauty of the amber, while the freeform retains the organic structures of the original tree resin. This creates a unique display piece, admired for both its transparency and its vibrant coloration.
