About Blue Amber

Blue amber is a rare and highly prized form of amber found primarily in the Dominican Republic. Its striking blue glow under UV light is caused by natural fluorescence — a result of unique organic compounds present in the resin. This feature makes blue amber a favorite among gem collectors, jewelers, and natural history enthusiasts.
