Direct from Simojovel, Chiapas, a partially polished piece of Mexican amber. This piece has been polished on the top side revealing beautiful green color. The backside is in raw form and maintains a portion of red crust. The last image shows the strong green glow of this amber under UV light. Please have a look and the photos and feel free to ask questions. Weight is 14.3 grams. The amber is between 22-26 million years old, dating from the Miocene to Oligocene Epochs, and is derived from the Hymenaea tree âe" the same responsible for the amber deposits in the Dominican Republic. However, unlike Dominican amber, Mexican amber is slightly harder and exhibits a richer range of color. Please note, we are currently in Mexico, not in Kentucky as stated in the auction.
