Amber - Amber - Sphere Gold Amber HQ Freeform Barnsteen - 6 cm - 6 cm (No reserve price)

100% real amber. All pieces are personally tested for authenticity by me with a UV lamp. I hereby give a personal warranty on this. See the last photo as an example of the UV lamp test. Real amber turns blue under UV light.

Golden and Blue amber (or amber) is the least common and most rare variant of amber in the world, which under the influence of UV light (such as sunlight) transforms from gold-brown to an intensely fluorescent blue color.

Natural phenomenon: Under artificial light or against a light background the stone appears yellow, honey-colored or deep dark red. However, once exposed to UV radiation, the molecules (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons such as perylene) light up and a spectacular blue glow arises.

Origin: This type of fossil resin is millions of years old and is predominantly derived from the extinct prehistoric tree species Hymenaea protera. Blue amber originates from the Miocene and Oligocene, geological periods dating from 15 to 40 million years ago
