Details
This beautiful large Red Sumatra Amber from Indonesia is a striking example of this fascinating material, professionally cut and fully hand polished into a distinctive freeform shape. In normal lighting, the Amber displays a rich reddish-brown color with subtle golden tones, while its exceptionally smooth, glossy surface allows the remarkable natural inclusions within to remain clearly visible. The largest inclusion is especially unusual, beginning at the surface and gradually extending beneath it, where its layered, almost fibrous structure can be seen through the translucent Amber. Tan to beige inclusions are dispersed throughout the piece, including smaller grain-like formations and areas that appear at the surface before continuing deeper into the Amber. When illuminated from behind, the piece becomes dramatically more translucent and reveals rich red, reddish-brown, and auburn coloration while bringing otherwise hidden internal details into view. In natural sunlight, a greenish-blue layer can become visible across nearly the entire piece, although this effect is difficult to capture accurately in photographs or video. Under UV light, the Amber is also highly reactive 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.
