Description
These lightweight earrings are a gorgeous shade of blue. They measure 1.1″ x .6″ each. They are made of some type of resin, although I am not sure what type of resin. Blue amber is quite rare, and since I have never seen it before, I cannot be sure these are made of blue amber. Blue amber gets its colouration from the Hymenaea protera tree. Here is a bit of information about blue amber. These are priced as resin, not as blue amber.
“Causes of coloration
Hydrocarbons in the blue amber shift the sun’s ultraviolet light down in frequency, resulting in the glow of blue amber. This effect is only possible in some specimens of Dominican amber category, in some Mexican ambers from Chiapas and some ambers from Indonesia.”
