Why buy Chiapas Amber over Baltic Amber? Besides the market already being flooded with Baltic Amber, which costs more than rarer types of Amber such as Chiapas Amber. Chiapas Amber is also harder, more fluorescent, and has a wider variety of natural colors going from reds to greens to all shades of yellow to nearly clear. Baltic amber is heat-treated in order to achieve these same colors.

Raw Amber, Unpolished
This is what amber looks like when it comes from the mines, after most of the clay has been scraped off. At this point it is difficult to tell if it has any inclusions or not. We do sell raw amber, but only upon request as otherwise it is all polished. Feel free to inquire. Price based upon quantity.
