This is an extremely collectible piece of Dominican Amber. It is a large chunk of fabled ''Blue Amber'' - prized by collectors and jewelry makers worldwide. Blue amber is only found in a handful of places around the world (NOT in Baltic Amber, for example), and only in a select few strata in the Dominican Republic. Scientists are still not sure what causes the amber to be blue in color - some think it came from an extinct, unknown type of tree. The shades of Blue Amber range from deep blue/violet to barely perceptible blue/green. The most common Blue Amber only has a glint of blue which is visible in reflected light.

This specimen is a beautiful chunk of this Blue Amber. It is essentially unpolished, except for a few polished spots on the top and sides. These areas reflect a very easily-seen royal blue hue. The amber piece is very large - about two inches square and weighing almost 19 grams! The right jeweler could turn this specimen into a unique, one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry. This is a very collectible example of this highly sought-after ''Blue Gold''.
