Please do not believe the claims that there is only copal inIndonesia. There is amber in Indonesia. There have been scientific papers published just last year verifying this. One example title is "Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Characterization of Indonesian Amber" published in the Journal Life: The Excitement of Biology 1(3) with co-authors Lambert, Levy, Santiago-Blay, and Wu pgs. 136-155; published on-line September 25, 2013. Up for purchase is a gorgeous, gem quality, cabochon shaped piece of very rare, untreated Jambi amber from the region of Central Sumatra (Sumatera), Indonesia with a beautiful sky blue color with regions of black. The back of the piece shows a creamy white color. A truly love piece! Studies are currently being done to determine the source plant(s) of this material but it is acquired from coal mining usually. The piece has been polished to show the true color best. This resembles top quality Dominican blue amber. Please note that this material is 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. Central Sumatran (Jambi), 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 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 (central region). No treatment of any kind was done to this to enhance the color. The known quantity of this material is believed less than that of Dominican blue amber. I may also have pieces of West Kalimantan Borneo 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. The piece weighs 7.2 grams (36 carats) and has a length of 32 mm, width of 22 mm, and 10 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. 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 but will also use Priority Mail International Small Flat Rate Box. Please note that this method is more expensive. NOTE to International buyers: I do not supply tracking numbers unless you request registered mail and willing to pay the high shipping cost. The cost is expensive for this service (USD 38.00). 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.
