Polished Amber Fossil Stone, 29.31g Natural Red & Gold Colored, 48.5mm Freeform from Sumatra Indonesia

This beautiful Red and Golden Sumatra Amber from Indonesia falls between a medium and large size and is a distinctive example of this fascinating material, professionally cut and fully hand polished into a freeform shape. One broader side is flat enough to allow the piece to stand upright for display when positioned with the wider end at the bottom. In normal lighting, the Amber displays a rich reddish-brown to deep red color with golden-yellow tones visible through its translucent areas. Natural cream-colored inclusions reach close to the surface, while additional inclusions just beneath the surface near the narrower end and down one side have a distinctive feather-like appearance. Darker inclusions are also visible within the Amber, including a prominent black inclusion near one rounded corner.

When a strong light is placed behind it, the piece transforms dramatically, revealing fiery red, reddish-orange, and golden-yellow coloration along with internal structures and additional inclusions that are much less visible in normal lighting. In natural sunlight, a subtle greenish-blue to blue coloration can become visible across the Amber itself, while under UV light it reacts dramatically with brilliant blue fluorescence. This piece comes from a special batch I personally imported directly from Indonesia approximately 10 years ago and have held onto ever since.

Please note: Because this Amber is translucent, some internal inclusions and natural internal fractures may appear in close-up photographs as lines, cracks, or scratches. Unless specifically noted otherwise, these are internal natural features of the Amber and cannot be felt on the polished surface.
