Description

 

        

 

Description  

 

 Dominican amber is  amber  from the  Dominican Republic . Resin from the extinct species  Hymenaea protera  is the source of Dominican amber and probably of most amber found in the tropics.

 

Dominican amber differentiates itself from  Baltic amber  by being nearly always transparent, and it has a higher number of  fossil  inclusions. This has enabled the detailed reconstruction of the ecosystem of a long-vanished tropical forest. [1]  

 

Variations:  

Dominican amber can be found in many colors, besides the obvious amber. Yellow and honey colored are fairly common. There is also red and green in smaller quantities and the rare  blue amber  (fluorescent). [10] [11]  

The Museo del Ambar Dominicano , in  Puerto Plata , as well as the Amber World Museum  in  Santo Domingo  have collections of amber specimens.

 

 

Pick a method of delivery for the amber. You can use it alone or with other minerals in bracelets or necklaces. Combine pieces in a pouch and wear them, or just tuck them in your pocket.   To use amber to enhance spiritual energy, combine it with other spiritual stones or metals. To increase sensitivity, add silver, which grounds and widens spiritual awareness. Other good matches are smoky quartz, sapphire, diamond and sunstone. To use amber for physical healing energies, add bloodstone, malachite, opal or carnelian. These will help to disperse amber's energies throughout the  body . To use amber for its emotional healing qualities, combine it with amethyst, rose quartz, labradorite, citrine, lapis lazuli, smoky quartz, rock crystal or tiger  eye . Use amber as a potentiator for any other stone. A potentiator increases the  activity  of whatever it is paired with. For instance, a combination of malachite and amber can be used to draw money into your life.  

 

      Is Blue Amber realy Blue? No it not, is very confusing We Know that it is a result of Fluorescence and no solid colors Ultra-Violet or violet light ir re-emitted as Blue or Green light attributed to the presence of ploy-nuclear aromatic omlecules.( Gemology Comelius S Hurlbut, Jr Robert C Kammerling)    

When sunlight strikes the Blue Amber on a white surface the light particles pass right through and are refracted by the white surface. Result: the Blue amber looks almost like any other Dominican amber, only with a slight blue hue. The light particles can’t refract off the black surface, so it is the Amber that refracts. The hydrocarbons in the Blue Amber turn the sun’s ultraviolet light into blue light particles. The result: the famous blue glow of Blue Amber. A similar reaction you will find in the green Dominican amber. Other Dominican amber will show this refraction only in concentrated UV light, but not in natural light. All my pictures have been taken with a regular digital camera in the shade of our verandah, without any artificial light. Fascinating, isn’t it?

 

            Because of the difficulties involved in mining BLUE AMBER, and the very few locations where it’s found, BLUE AMBER stones are very rare. And becoming scarcer every day. Prices haven’t yet skyrocketed.But they will go up as availability goes down.                                                                                                                                                  Greetings Dear Customers, Im gladdly presenting here these Beautiful Unique Dominican Amber Fossils, ALL the stones comes from the mines of La Toca, Los Cacaos in Santiago los Caballeros - Dominican Republic.

BE CAREFUL! There are lots of groups on the Internet (and in real stores) selling amber fakes! 

All amber at the Amber Gallery is genuine Dominican Amber, and has been obtained from reputable sources, and has been carefully examined with a microscope and by other methods personally to guarantee you its authenticity. We ONLY sell genuine Dominican amber with fossil inclusions, such as insects, spiders and plant fragments. 

Do you own any amber that has a questionable heritage? Feel free to contact us regarding an appraisal of the authenticity of your amber pieces. You can't always tell just by looking, even for an expert, so it pays to have important pieces checked out carefully. 

an One of the simplest non-destructive tests that you can do yourself is to clean and taste the specimen. Carefully washing with soap and water, then with just water, should leave a clean specimen ready for this test. Lick the specimen slowly several times, allowing the subtle taste to linger. It should be extremely subtle - real amber has almost no taste at all, leaving at most a very slight, tingly sensation. We think this "taste" may actually be just a touch sensation, not a true response of the taste buds. Most plastic or other polymer forgeries, on the other hand, carry a distinctly nasty taste that screams, "Imitation!" Don't be fooled, remembering this simple taste test can save you considerable trouble in your adventures with amber. 

 

 Static test

This is the simplest and safest test. Amber is warm to the touch and when rubbed, it will become electrostatically charged and will attract lint/dust particles. This is what the ancient Greeks discovered and named it "electron", which is where we get the term "electricity".

Solvent test

The immature resin copal, and plastic fake amber will deteriorate when in contact with a solvent. Plastics are quickly attacked by alcohol (95% ethyl alcohol), acetone (100%), and ether. A few drops of acetone (fingernail polish remover) or alcohol dripped over the surface of the piece will reveal if it holds up to the solvent. If the surface becomes tacky, it's not amber. Amber will not feel tacky or dissolve under these solvents.

Buoyancy test

Amber will float or be buoyant in seawater. This is why it washes up on the beaches of the Baltic after a storm. Salt-saturated water (about 2.5 tablespoons per 1 cup water) will show that imitations of amber will sink in salt water.

Heat test

Amber heated will produce a whitish smoke and smell like burning pine wood, sweet and pleasant. This is why amber has been used by ancient civilizations as incense for many centuries. Amber is identified from plastic imitations with a hot point test (hot needle held with tweezers). When the hot point touches the suspected amber in an unobtrusive place, the material will burn and give off an odor. (Plastics= a disinfectant type odor of camphor or carbolic acid, Amber= burning pinewood). The hot point will make the plastic sticky and leave a black mark. The hot point will make amber brittle and chip off. When celluloid is dipped in hot water or heated, it gives off the odor of camphor. Other plastics give off the unpleasant smell of carbolic acid and no smoke.
