This 37.13 g piece of Dominican red amber comes from the Dominican Republic.
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 called red-shelled amber, it gets its color because it is the first amber to be mined—the layer closest to the surface, which receives the most heat from the earth. Although little known because of its rarity, it has been around since Dominican amber was first discovered. As we know, it reacts to ultraviolet light. It is estimated to be between 25 and 44 million years old. Clear as water and completely transparent, this is a unique, high-quality piece for collectors that has never before been auctioned on Catawiki. I must also emphasize how scarce it is.
Among the most coveted ambers in the world, Dominican red amber is one of the rarest and most expensive, surpassing Mexican and Baltic amber.
Considered an important gemstone, it is believed to have healing and esoteric properties: it helps balance emotions, enhances intellectual abilities, and provides its wearer with energy and vitality. It is considered a unique protective amulet, which accounts for its high value.
If you are unsure about bidding on this item, please let someone else who is genuinely interested place a bid.
The photos were taken in white and natural light; only one was 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.
