Amber Blue Rough - Select Size
Mineral Information:
Blue amber is a rare and highly prized type of amber that has a distinctive blue color. Amber is a fossilized tree resin that has been prized for its beauty and rarity for thousands of years. Most amber is yellow or brown in color, but blue amber is a much rarer form that is found in only a few locations around the world.
Blue amber gets its color from the presence of certain organic compounds, which are believed to be the result of a natural process of degradation and oxidation that occurs over millions of years. The blue color can range from a pale blue to a deep, almost electric blue, and the intensity of the color can vary depending on the angle of the light and the thickness of the amber.
Blue Amber has a Mohs Hardness of 2-2.5
Mineral Care:
Blue Amber is generally safe to handle. Consumption and being used in gem waters, especially in the case of rough specimens, is not advised. The Mohs hardness being 2 to 2.5 means that Blue Amber is a soft gemstone that must be handled with care to avoid scratching or damaging it.
Metaphysical Properties:
Blue amber is said to promote a sense of calm and relaxation. This helps to reduce stress and fear.
