This beautiful large Red Sumatra Amber from Indonesia is an exceptionally uncommon example of this fascinating material, professionally cut and fully hand polished into a substantial freeform shape that is close to an oval. In normal lighting, the Amber appears extremely deep wine-red to burgundy, but when a strong light is placed behind it, its remarkable translucency becomes visible and the piece glows a rich, vibrant red. Natural cream-colored inclusions create striking contrast within the dark Amber, while sunlight can reveal subtle hints of blue-green that are difficult to capture in photographs or video. Even more dramatically, this material is highly UV reactive and fluoresces a brilliant blue under both shortwave and longwave UV light. This is the largest piece remaining from a special batch I personally imported directly from Indonesia approximately 10 years ago and have held onto ever since.
