Mexican Amber with Silverfish Inclusion 7.8 g

Mexican Amber with Silverfish Inclusion 7.8 g A beautiful specimen of 100% natural Mexican amber with a trapped variety of insects inside. This one of a kind piece of fully polished, hand worked amber is from Chiapas, Mexico. With a unique insectile composition it would make an ideal addition to any collection, or could be made into a special one off jewelry piece. The blue green fluorescence that Chiapan amber is known for can be seen with dark backgrounds and side light. Mexican amber is between 22-30 million years old. Unlike most gems, amber is a warming, organic substance, possessing protective, healing, and metaphysical properties that have been used by the local Mayans for generations. This amber is sourced locally and hand selected by us in southern Mexico. It is manually cut and polished in our lapidary shop. For you, this means that you are receiving a product crafted entirely by hand in 100% Chiapas amber. We do not outsource any part of the process to any third parties.

To show off the fantastic play of color and light inherent in Mexican amber, we photograph it under a UV black light, a LED white light, and in natural sunlight to highlight the blue green fluorescence of this special type of amber. The UV light is also used in grading to show clarity, sap or flow lines, clouds, inclusions, and impurities.
