AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Dominican Green amber is a type of amber with a rare, clear coloration. It is most commonly found in amber mines in the mountains near Santiago, Dominican Republic. Although little known because of its rarity, it has been around since the discovery of Dominican amber. (ambar dominicano) Fossil insects inside
Under artificial light, amber looks like ordinary amber, but in sunlight it has an intense fluorescent blue coloration. When held up to the sun, it looks like ordinary amber, while under ultraviolet light it exhibits a brilliant milky-blue color. It is estimated to be 25–44 million years old. Clear as water and completely transparent, this unique, high-quality piece is ideal for a collection and has never been auctioned on Catawiki.
One of the most coveted types in the world, Dominican blue amber is among the most exclusive and expensive, surpassing Mexican and Baltic amber.
Considered an important gemstone, it is said to have healing and hermetic properties: it helps balance emotions, enhances intellectual capacities, and provides its user with energy and vitality. It is considered a unique protective amulet, hence its high value.
If you are unsure about bidding in this auction, let someone else who is truly interested place a bid.
The photos were taken under white and natural light; only one was taken under UV light to show its reaction and verify its authenticity.
The measurements are approximately 6 x 6 x 3 cm.
Insured shipping with tracking number.
