The polish allows light to pass beautifully through the amber, revealing internal structures, natural inclusions and the depth of colour that is often difficult to appreciate in photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"438\" data-end=\"813\"\u003eChiapas Amber is regarded as some of the finest amber in the world and is highly sought after by collectors. It was formed from the resin of ancient tropical trees during the Miocene period, with most material dating to approximately 22–26 million years old. While younger than Baltic Amber, Chiapas Amber is often prized for its exceptional clarity, colour and fluorescence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"815\" data-end=\"1053\"\u003eOne of the characteristics of genuine Chiapas Amber is its reaction under ultraviolet light. Many pieces display a striking blue to blue-green fluorescence, a feature that collectors often use as one indicator of authenticity and quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1055\" data-end=\"1350\"\u003eThe transparency in this piece is particularly attractive, allowing the warm golden and reddish tones to glow when light passes through it. There are also natural inclusions and internal features visible throughout, reminding us that amber is fossilised tree resin rather than a mineral crystal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1352\" data-end=\"1374\"\u003eMetaphysical Notes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1376\" data-end=\"1557\"\u003e• Associated with warmth, vitality and positive energy\u003cbr\u003e• Often used to encourage emotional balance and resilience\u003cbr\u003e• Connected with ancient wisdom and the energy of the natural world\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1559\" data-end=\"1583\"\u003eWays to Work With It:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1585\" data-end=\"1851\"\u003e• Display with natural light passing through it to appreciate the colour\u003cbr\u003e• Examine closely to explore the natural inclusions and internal features\u003cbr\u003e• Use during meditation focused on grounding and personal growth\u003cbr\u003e• Add to a serious mineral, fossil or amber collection\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1925\" data-end=\"2164\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Castle Rocks Cornwall","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53151241077002,"sku":"030626-TA-9","price":85.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/6621\/5946\/files\/IMG_3822.jpg?v=1780511113","url":"https:\/\/castlerockscornwall.com\/products\/rare-chiapas-amber-freeform-mexico","provider":"Castle Rocks Cornwall","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
