Description from the seller

Mexican Amber from Chiapas – Exceptional Gemological Quality

A magnificent piece of natural amber from Chiapas, Mexico, considered one of the world’s most prized varieties for its extraordinary transparency, intense brilliance, and spectacular play of color. Formed approximately 22 to 30 million years ago, this fossilized plant resin is an authentic testament to the ancient tropical forests of the Miocene.

This piece stands out for its gemological quality, with exceptional transparency and a captivating fluorescence and internal-fire effect in the light—characteristics highly sought after by collectors and lovers of natural gems.

Chiapas amber is often compared to prestigious Dominican amber, which has long been considered the world benchmark for clarity. However, top-quality Mexican specimens such as this one equal, and can even surpass, Dominican amber in color intensity, brilliance, stability, and visual appeal, and are becoming increasingly valued on the international market.
