Amber is hard, translucent, fossilized tree resin produced by extinct coniferous trees from the Tertiary period. It is typically yellow in color but can range from brown to orange or red. Amber is graded by color, clarity, rarity of inclusions (popularized by Jurassic Park), hardness, color of fluorescence, and sometimes locality. Many ambers fluoresce green or blue under ultraviolet light, giving added appeal and value! While Amber is hard enough to use in jewelry, Copal is young amber that does not have the same durability. All of our Indonesian Amber was hand selected in Indonesia in 2012 and has been tested in a lab in Tokyo, proving it as genuine Amber and not Copal. All of our Mexican Amber is ethically sourced directly in Chiapas straight from the miners.
Location: Chiapas, Mexico
