NOTE: All pictures were taken under natural sunlight, no color enhancements.

Up for purchase is a superb, large, 18.3 gram piece of rare, untreated amber from the region of West Sumatra Island, Indonesia with a deep blue purple color when natural sunlight is shining on it. Some may  refer to it as 'blueberry blue.'

A large window has been polished into this piece while the remainder is in the rough as mined.

The color may vary depending upon how sunlight is striking it also.

The piece weighs 18.3 grams (around 90 carats) and has an approximate length of 40 mm, a width of 25 mm and 22 mm height. NOTE: 25.4 mm is 1 inch.

The piece could be fashioned into a most unique piece of jewelry!

Indonesian amber is a beautiful, all-natural amber from fossil trees that exhibits a rich range of colors.

Indonesian amber is a recent find. This amber possesses a beautiful color. I also offer blue and green amber from other areas of Indonesia.

The color can rival that of the finest Dominican and Chiapas (Mexican)  blue amber.

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 Sumatra or Sumatera (western region).  No treatment of any kind was done to this to enhance the color. 

I may also have listed pieces of East Kalimantan, Bunyu Island Blue amber, Sulawesi Blue amber, and West Papua 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.

 

Please see my Dominican amber and Burmese (Burmite) 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.

International Buyers: Please note that I ship using First Class Mail International.

A SPECIAL NOTE CONCERNING INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please understand that import duties, taxes and charges are NOT included in the selling price or shipping charges.  These charges are the buyer's responsibility.

Please check your country's customs office to determine what these additional charges may be prior to bidding/buying.

I cannot guarantee delivery of your item in a set amount of time.  Different country's customs offices take longer to process items than others do.

Lastly, I do not mark merchandise values below their true value or mark items as "gifts."  U.S. and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.  Honesty is the best option.

I only sell genuine, all-natural, non-heat treated, reconstituted, or color enhanced amber.  This piece could be used as a specimen or in a piece of jewelry.  Thank you for your consideration.  This amber will ship worldwide.  I will combine items to save on shipping for up to a 7 day period and usually ship within a 24 hour period.  

Please note that the saltwater test to identify real from fake amber is not reliable. The saltwater test claims that real amber will float in saltwater while fake amber will sink.

However, many amber sources or even specimens will not float in saltwater as their botanical (plant) composition as well as fossil inclusions are such that they are more dense than saltwater and so sink. I do not sell fake amber. My feedback should help demonstrate this.
