AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

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

Gold 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 golden 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 UV radiation hits, 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 principally derived from the extinct prehistoric tree species Hymenaea protera. Blue amber originates from the Miocene and the Oligocene, geological time periods dating from 15 to 40 million years ago.
