Sumatran Amber formation is dated back to Miocene Age (10-20 Million or older). Amber is an organic gemstone derived from fossilized tree resin. Amber is approximately 20-100 millions years old. Most amber is typically found in the Baltic region, while a different variety of amber has recently been discovered in Sumatra, in the South-East Asia. Unlike Baltic amber which may often contain bits of bark, trapped air bubbles, and sometimes insects, Sumatran amber is relatively less included but features dark colour areas within its reddish-cognac body that resemble leopard spots.

However, what is more distinct between the two is that Sumatran amber also has an optical feature that displays a reddish hue under incandescent light and a blue fluorescence under UV light. This phenomenon is not observed in Baltic amber.

Sumatran amber is not heated, clarified, or treated. As with all organic gemstones, do not use harsh chemical cleaners to clean your amber jewellery piece, but rather use mild soap and warm water, only as needed.
