Amber - Amber - Jupiter like Sphere XL Freeform - 10 cm - 10 cm

Beautiful Jupiter-pattern ball of Indonesian blue amber. 100% real amber. The blue photos you see were taken under a simple UV flashlight. Real amber glows blue under UV illumination. Blue amber (or blue amber) is the least common and most rare variant of amber in the world, which under UV light (such as sunlight) transforms from golden-brown to an intensely fluorescent blue color. Natural phenomenon: Under artificial light or against a light background the stone looks yellow, honey-colored, or deep dark red. However, once UV radiation hits it, the molecules (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons such as perylene) light up and a spectacular blue glow appears. Origin: This type of fossil resin is millions of years old and mainly comes from the extinct prehistoric tree species Hymenaea protera. Blue amber originates from the Miocene and Oligocene, geological periods dating from 15 to 40 million years ago.
