A slender elongated polished piece of Indonesian blue amber at 37x19x17mm. In reflected natural light the body shows a deep reddish-amber with mottled darker orange-brown patterning throughout - the natural color variation of Sumatran fossil resin. Under UV at 365nm it transforms completely, glowing a pure saturated bright blue from edge to edge. Scattered dark inclusions visible within the piece appear as distinctive shadow shapes against the vivid fluorescence, giving it an immediately recognizable character.
Indonesian blue amber is a fossil resin from Sumatra valued for its dramatic fluorescent optical effect, caused by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons embedded in the resin millions of years ago. Completely untreated and natural. Works beautifully as a display specimen or for photographing the color-change effect; most dramatic against a dark background in outdoor natural light.
Natural Indonesian blue amber, Sumatra origin - sold loose.

About amber
Amber is fossilized tree resin, not a mineral, so it is very light and feels warm to the touch. At 2 to 2.5 on the Mohs scale it scratches very easily. The blue of blue amber is natural fluorescence, seen best in sunlight or under UV light.
Cleaning
Warm water, a drop of mild dish soap and a soft brush, then rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Skip ultrasonic and steam cleaners: amber is soft and melts or cracks with heat. Keep alcohol, perfume, hairspray and solvents away from it: they dissolve its surface.
Wear and storage
Display it on a stand or a soft cloth so it cannot roll or knock against harder stones, and store it wrapped in a soft cloth. It is soft enough to be scratched by a fingernail, so dust it gently.
