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 (ámbar dominicano).
Under artificial light, the amber looks like ordinary amber, but in sunlight it displays an intense fluorescent blue color. 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 is a unique, high-quality collectible piece, something that has never been auctioned on Catawiki.
Among the most coveted amber in the world, Dominican blue amber is one of the rarest and most expensive, surpassing Mexican and Baltic amber.
Considered an important gemstone, it is said to have healing and esoteric properties: it helps balance emotions and enhances intellectual abilities, providing its user with energy and vitality. It is considered a unique protective amulet, which explains its high value.
If you are unsure about purchasing this auction item, please let someone else who is genuinely interested in it bid.
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 6.5 x 3.5 x 3.5 cm.
Insured shipping with tracking number.
