This 40 g piece of Dominican amber comes from Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic, and fluoresces milky blue under ultraviolet light.
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).
Under artificial light, the 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 displays a brilliant milky-blue color. It is estimated to be 25–44 million years old. Clear as water and completely transparent, this is a unique, high-quality piece for a collection—something never before auctioned on Catawiki.
Among the most coveted in the world, Dominican blue amber is one of the rarest and most expensive varieties, surpassing Mexican and Baltic amber.
Considered an important gemstone, it is believed to have healing and hermetic properties, helping to balance emotions and enhance intellectual abilities while providing its user with energy and vitality. It is regarded as a unique protective amulet, which explains its high value.
If you are unsure about bidding in this auction, please let someone else who is genuinely 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 approximate measurements are 5 x 4 x 3 cm.
Insured shipping with tracking number.
