Amber is an organic gemstone derived from fossilized tree resin. Sumatran amber is unique, exceptionally beautiful, and rare. It is found in the regular 'amber-color' and reddish hues, olive green, and blue. The only genuine blue amber was found in the Dominican Republic, Indonesia, and a small amount in Mexico. Unfortunately, in the last two years, the excellent quality beads of Sumatran amber have been almost impossible to acquire.
From the geological viewpoint, the deposit of Indonesian amber is situated in the Sinamar Formation, which is an early Oligocene-age rock formation (approximately 30 million years old).
The Sumatran amber is entirely natural. Therefore, no treatment is given to the original rough material except cut and polish.
