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 Dominican amber was discovered (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 piece for a collection—something that has never been auctioned on Catawiki.
One of the most coveted varieties in the world, Dominican blue amber is among the most exclusive and expensive, surpassing Mexican and Baltic amber.
Considered an important gemstone, it is believed to have healing and hermetic properties. It is said to help balance emotions and enhance intellectual abilities, while providing its user with energy and vitality. It is considered a unique protective amulet, which accounts for its high value.
If you are unsure about bidding in this auction, let someone else who is genuinely interested place a bid.
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.
The measurements are approximately 5 × 3 × 2 cm.
Insured shipping with tracking number.
