This 35 g piece of Dominican amber is from Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic.
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 Dominican amber was first discovered (ámbar dominicano).
Under artificial light, the amber looks like ordinary amber, but in sunlight it has an intense fluorescent blue color. 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 collectible piece—something that has never been auctioned on Catawiki.
One of the most coveted types of amber in the world, Dominican blue amber is among the rarest and most expensive, surpassing Mexican and Baltic amber.
Considered an important gemstone, it is believed to have healing and esoteric properties. It is said to help balance emotions, develop intellectual abilities, and provide its wearer with energy and vitality. It is regarded as a unique protective amulet, which accounts for its high value.
If you are unsure about bidding on this auction, please leave the opportunity to someone who is genuinely interested.
The photos were taken under white and natural light, with only one taken under UV light to show the amber’s reaction and verify its authenticity.
Approximate measurements: 5 × 3 × 2 cm
Insured shipping with tracking number.
