Amber
Our national gem, also known around
the world as the “Golden Gem of the
Ages”, holds millenary fossils where nature
exhibits perfectly preserved evidence of
life in the Tertiary Age. It has electrical
energy that is clearly manifested by the
attraction it has on lighter objects.
Ancient wise men attributed to it the power
of counteracting negative vibrations and,
because of these “magical properties”,
wore it as an amulet. According to
tradition, however, the gem’s magical
attributes remain dormant unless it is
received as a gift.

Make the most of your stay and bring
home to your loved ones a jewel as
a souvenir of your visit. There aren’t
many places in the world where
you can buy amber and larimar, the
Dominican turquoise.
One of the biggest deposits worldwide
is located in the Amber Coast and
only in our country can you find
mines of blue, red and black amber,
which are classified among the more
desirable varieties. The exhibition and
sale of the finest amber and larimar
jewels are in Santo Domingo, in
the Museum of Ambar and Larimar,
located in an old house in Zona
Colonial.
Christie’s of London auctioned and
sold a piece of Dominican amber
with a pre-historic lizard captured and
preserved intact in its interior. It sold
for US$130,000. The export of rough
amber is restricted. �
