Please do not believe the
claims that there is only copal in Indonesia.
Up for purchase is a piece of super rare, untreated amber from the region of West Papua, Indonesia with a beautiful, deep blue color with natural sunlight shining on it.
This
is hard material and takes a high polish.
Indonesia shares the island with Papua
New Guinea who owns the eastern half.
There is very little of this material
available for sale as the source is quite isolated.
The the piece has been polished on one side to show the
color best.
Please note that this material is much more rare than Dominican
blue amber.
All pictures were taken
under natural sunlight, no color enhancements.
Indonesian amber is a
beautiful, all-natural amber from fossil trees that exhibits a rich range
of colors.
Indonesian amber is a
very recent find. This amber possesses a beautiful, deep blue color that
sometimes can appear as violet (purple). I also offer blue and green amber from other
areas of Indonesia.
The color rivals that
of the finest Dominican and Chiapas (Mexican) blue amber. The
coloration can be so intense that it can be seen even in dim
sunlight.
The color appears best when light is shining on rather than
through the piece and is due to the natural, untreated, chemical fluorescent
properties of the amber.
It was mined from the earth in the Indonesian province of West
Papua. No treatment of any kind was done to this to enhance the color.
I may also have pieces
of Jambi Blue amber, Sulawesi Blue amber, and West Kalimantan Blue
amber for sale which exhibits a unique blue sometimes
violet color also.
A piece such as
this would make a great addition to any fossil or gemstone collection.
The piece weighs 12.4 grams (62 carats) and has
a length of 35 mm, width of 23 mm, and 17 mm
height.
Please see my Dominican amber that has a variety of insect,
botanical, and other types of inclusions along with my large pieces of
fossiliferous Colombian copal at low starting bids.
I
will combine items to save on shipping costs for up to 7 days.
