are several theories about the origin of the blue color in blue Dominican
amber and it is not fully understood what causes the blue color in Dominican
blue amber. We know that it is a result of blue fluorescence and no solid
blue color. The best way to test blue amber is placing it under an ultra-violet
lamp which intensifies the blue olor to a radiant cobalt-blue. There are no bugs in ambre of this color.
One theory links the color in Dominican blue amber to the occurrence of
volcanic ash or dust which was present when the resin was first pressed
out from hymenaea protera millions of years ago. And

Welcome to our Blue Amber Catalog

The pictures in this catalog have been taken in natural daylight without any additional light source.
Rough pieces have a polished window.
All our amber is 100% natural. We do not use reconstitution,
physical or chemical methods to "enhance" it, clear it or change its color. It is natural amber, just as
it comes from the mines. Therefore, differences in shades and inclusions are a proof of genuineness and authenticity.
Certificates are available.

Blue amber comes in different shades of blue. It is difficult to put Dominican
Blue Amber into categories, since our Caribbean amber is not an industrial
product. In the lower quality (regular blue amber), the blue tone can
only really be appreciated under an ultra violet light source.
Then you will find a strong blue reflection in the yellow undertone of
Dominican blue amber (strong blue). But there is also something we call
"ultra blue amber" which is visible in almost any kind of light. This
is extremely rare, hard to get and - of course - the most expensive kind
of Dominican blue amber. And - of course - there is everything in between,
never the same, because it is the beauty of nature and not a semi-industrial
product like reconstituted and enhanced material from some other countries.
Amber from the Dominican Republic is renowned for the diversity of fossils and inclusions
it contains, the three rare "treasures", which are scorpions, lizards
and frogs but also many other "bugs" in amber, like pseudo scorpion, fly,
damsel fly, dragon fly, termite in amber. Therfore, we also offer fossil amber with bugs in amber. Our Dominican Blue Amber is
the REAL thing, natural amber just the way it comes from the mines. While
the mystery around the origin of its color has not been cleared, one thing
is sure: Dominican Blue Amber is beautiful and it is extremely rare.
