This is natural Dominican amber. It is the REAL thing, natural amber just the way it comes from the mines. All these colors were found in ONE and the SAME stone.
Dominican amber is not heat treated to reproduce the green, cherry and blood
red color, or make it transparent by boiling it in rapeseed oil or in the
fat of a suckling pig. (Don't laugh.)
This was and is a method used in famous amber countries to produce rare
colors and effects. Some do it even by applying a certain paint to the backs
of the amber stones, to cause the beholder's perception to see green amber
or other colors, which naturally are not or not often found in those places.
It also is heated up and cooled down to produce the "sun spangles" (flints)
and melted and cleared in vacuum chambers (autoclaved) and what have you.
Often Baltic amber flooding the market is made only of amber rejects and amber sawdust or meal, colored, melted up and pressed.
Often misleading expressions are being used like:
"real amber", "genuine amber", "improved amber", "enhanced amber" etc. and even certificates are being offered.

But for our Dominican amber we use none of these methods. We just find it that way and cut and polish it. Yes, we are very fortunate to have naturally what others dream of and
try to copy artificially.
Please look at some more color examples. At the time shown, not all of these might be available, but others are.
