What are the types of Amber
Beeswax Amber
Beeswax Amber is a type of amber that is yellow or brownish yellow in color, transparent or translucent, and sometimes contains bubbles or other inclusions. It is usually more opaque than amber and has a unique warm texture and sheen.
Beeswax Amber is found all over the world, but is most common in the Baltic region. It is famous for its high quality and rich colors.
Blood Amber
The color of blood amber is deep red, like a glass of rich wine. Blood amber is mainly produced in Myanmar and is also called Burmese amber. The red color of blood amber may be due to the reaction of the resin with specific minerals during the formation process, or it may be caused by oxidation over a long period of time.
Blood amber is very rare and has a high value in the market.
Blue Amber
The color of blue amber is affected by the organic dye called perylene contained in the amber. Blue amber is mainly produced in the Dominican Republic, so it is also called Dominican blue amber. Most blue amber is still yellow under artificial light, and only turns blue under sunlight or ultraviolet light.
There are also some blue ambers that are blue in color. Scientists currently believe that the cause of blue amber is related to the incomplete burning of the two-leaved bean forest 25 million to 40 million years ago.
Piebald Amber
The inclusions of Piebald Amber do not actually contain real flowers, but are named because the flaky inclusions contained in it look like flower petals. Such patterns are formed because of uneven heating during the formation process, which causes the internal inclusions and bubbles to burst. The color is usually uneven and scattered in the amber. When you look at it, it looks like countless petals floating in the crystal.
Amber with real flowers and plants inside is called "Piebald Amber".
Black Amber
Black Amber is a precious gemstone, which is a mixture of amber and minerals such as hematite. Black Amber is dark red, brown red and other colors, and has a unique oily luster. Black Amber is distributed all over the world, and the amber in the Baltic Sea coastal area is the most famous.
The formation process of amber is similar to that of amber, both of which come from the fossilized resin of ancient trees. However, during the formation process, amber was affected by some minerals, such as hematite. These minerals mixed with the resin in amber formed the unique deep red, brownish red and other colors of amber.
Golden Amber
Golden Amber is the most common type of amber, with a golden color and high transparency. Golden Amber is mainly produced in the Baltic region and is also called Baltic Amber.
In ancient times, golden Amber was known as the "fortune stone". It is crystal clear, colorful, and has a rich aura. It is believed to bring people endless blessings and wealth.
Green Amber
The production of green amber is very rare, mostly from Mexico or the Dominican Republic. The cause of the color of green amber is related to the plant fragments or iron sulfide minerals wrapped in it. There are usually two types of green amber, one is naturally green, and the other is green that can only be observed through strong light or ultraviolet light. Depending on the angle of the light, it will show different green colors.
Insect Amber
Insect amber is a type of amber, which contains fossils of insects or other small creatures. The formation process of insect amber is that tens of millions of years ago, some trees that have been naturally injured or broken in the trunk and can secrete resin will continue to secrete resin.
After the resin drips, it will gradually oxidize and harden in the air to form amber. If insects or other small creatures are caught in the resin dripping or flowing, they will be wrapped in amber and preserved as the amber hardens.
Bony Amber
The color is milky white, with a primitive beauty. It is the type with the highest succinic acid content. It is based on yellow waxy amber, with many silky white components distributed in the middle in a hazy manner. Most of the colors are yellow and white, with a slight brown tint. Among them, bone amber with more white is the best color.
