Description from the seller
Dominican red amber is a type of amber with a rare, light coloration. It is found primarily in the amber mines in the mountains near Santiago, Dominican Republic. Commonly known as red-shelled amber, it gets its color because it is the first amber to be mined, being closest to the surface and exposed to the greatest heat from the earth. Although little known due to its rarity, it has been present since Dominican amber was first discovered. As is well known, it reacts to ultraviolet light. It is estimated to be between 25 and 44 million years old. Clear as water and completely transparent, it is a unique, high-quality piece for collectors that has never before been auctioned on Catawiki. I must also emphasize its rarity.
One of the most coveted types of amber in the world, Dominican red amber is among the most exclusive and expensive, surpassing Mexican and Baltic amber.
Considered an important gemstone, it is believed to have healing and esoteric properties, helping to balance emotions and enhance intellectual abilities while providing energy and vitality to its user. It is considered a unique protective amulet, which accounts for its high value.
If you are unsure about bidding on this item, please leave the opportunity to someone else who is genuinely interested.
The photos were taken under white and natural light, with only one taken under UV light to show its reaction and verify its authenticity.
The measurements are approximately 8.5 x 4 x 2.5 cm.
Insured shipping with tracking number.
