AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This blue amber comes directly 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 remarkable colors, its transparency and its interesting UV reaction. Free-form pieces 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 special transparency and spectacular color variations. Honey, cognac and smoky brown hues alternate with deep amber areas, which when backlit transition into intense red and orange tones and give the piece an almost glowing appearance.

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

A special feature of this piece appears under UV light: certain parts then emit intense blue to purple hues, creating a fascinating contrast with the warm amber colors. This fluorescence gives the piece an extra dimension and makes it particularly interesting for collectors as well.

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 creates a unique display piece, admired for both its transparency and its vivid color conveyance.
