Beautiful and rare example of Amber Butterscotch.
This variety of Amber is among the most appreciated by collectors and jewelers, as its color, a mix of creamy yellow and milky white, is very rare and precious.
Specimen from Russia, specifically from the Kalingrad region.

The reason for its distinctive color is due to the presence of millions of tiny bubbles trapped inside the resin from the trees it once lay on. From tests carried out with an electron microscope, it has been shown that Amber Butterscotch is made up of transparent resin and millions of micro bubbles inside which, reflecting the light, return this fantastic milky color.
