This Dominican blue amber represents fossilized amber from the Miocene period, approximately 16–18 million years old. The piece is in raw form with one faceted and polished side, allowing natural surface texture to remain visible while enhancing light reflection and color. Blue amber is significant for its rare fluorescence and unique optical properties, displaying a distinctive blue hue under natural sunlight or UV light. Specimens from the Dominican Republic provide important insight into tropical forest ecosystems of the miocene period.
