The Enigmatic Allure of Blue Amber: Exploring Its Healing Properties and Timeless Beauty

Blue amber, also known as blue amberite, is a relatively rare variety of amber that exhibits varying degrees of blue color when exposed to sunlight, distinguishing it from the warm hues of red, yellow, brown, and black commonly found in regular amber. It has earned the nickname "Blue Elf" or "King of Amber" among collectors.

Blue amber refers to a collection of amber varieties that appear golden when illuminated by transmitted light but exhibit a range of colors such as green, blue-green, sky blue, and bluish-purple when illuminated by natural light against a black background. The two major sources of blue amber are the Dominican Republic and Mexico, known as Dominican blue amber and Mexican blue amber, respectively.

The unique sky blue and bluish-purple hues found in Dominican blue amber have captivated countless admirers. Originally a common type of amber found in geological layers, Dominican blue amber formed millions of years ago when lava from Dominican Republic's volcanic activity flowed over the surface, subjecting the buried amber to high temperatures. During this process, fluorescent substances known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons became incorporated into the amber, creating the conditions for the formation of Dominican blue amber, which possesses its enchanting blue color.

Mexican blue amber, when illuminated by natural light against a black background, typically displays a noticeable greenish tint. Additionally, the fluorescence of Mexican blue amber under ultraviolet light is generally weaker than that of Dominican blue amber. This is why, despite both being blue amber, Mexican blue amber is more affordable compared to Dominican blue amber. Mexican blue amber is known for its overall higher clarity and cost-effectiveness, making it popular among certain consumers. In recent years, its prices have also been on the rise.
