Dominican Green Amber Pendant with Insect Fossils

Product detailed description

This pendant is a perfect fusion of nature, history, and mystery. Crafted from rare Dominican green amber, it has preserved prehistoric insects—crane flies, midge, and tiny gnats—for millions of years. Each of these ancient creatures serves as a window into a time when the tropical forests of the Caribbean buzzed with life, a world now known to us only through amber.

What makes this piece truly special is not just the life it holds but also its captivating interaction with light. The back of the pendant retains a layer of raw amber bark, which gives the front view a deep, mysterious red hue. Yet, the amber itself is naturally yellow. Under different angles and lighting conditions, the pendant reveals an ever-changing spectrum of colours—from warm honey-like glows to rich green tones reminiscent of ancient rainforests.

At 9.5 cm in length, this is a striking, statement piece that commands attention with both its size and its remarkable depth. Suspended from an elegant obsidian necklace, its dark, grounding energy contrasts beautifully with the luminous dance of amber.

Own a truly unique piece of jewelry that is not just an adornment but a story—a connection to a prehistoric world waiting to be discovered.

Amber Origin: Dominican Republic

Dominican amber comes from an extinct tree - the legume Hymenea protera. Today, similar species of this tree grow in South America and Africa, such as Hymenea courbaril. 

Dominican green amber is a very rare kind of amber, such as the blue one. It is specific in its colouring and optical properties. It reflects the green waves of the light spectrum, which is why it turns green or blue on a black background and strong light. However, the colour of amber itself is yellow. More specifically, it ranges over a very wide palette, from pale yellow to orange or reddish brown.

Care
To keep your amber piece beautiful for years to come:

• Avoid contact with chemicals (such as perfumes, cleaning agents, disinfectants). Don’t wear the amber pendant in pools or saunas, as chlorinated water and sudden heat changes can harm the amber.
• If you want to clean the amber, you can wash it gently with lukewarm water and mild soap, and dry with a soft clean cotton cloth.
• Store in a closed box, avoiding longterm direct sunlight.

Note:
Dominican amber has unique optical properties, and its colour shifts depending on the type of lighting. Whether viewed in natural daylight, sunlight, or artificial light, its appearance may vary—this is part of its natural charm. Cameras can only capture a limited spectrum of its hues, and the final colour may also differ based on your monitor’s settings. The true beauty of this amber is best appreciated in person.
