silver jewelry and gold jewelry supplier using Dominican amber directly from the mines, as a manufacturer who offers custom crafted amber
semi products and amber and silver jewelry, rough amber and raw amber from the Dominican mines in the Caribbean, amber earrings, amber
bracelets, amber rings, amber chains, amber necklaces and blue amber necklaces as well as beads and cabochons and typical Caribbean amber
jewelry. There 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. And, we have noticed that blue amber
can be recognized by a very agreeable smell. 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 - of course - besides the blue Dominican
amber, we also have rough amber in regular amber colors and all those special amber colors like green amber and blood red amber, purple amber,
as they are only found in Dominican Amber. 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.
