About Burmese Amber
Burmese amber (Burmite) is among the oldest commercially traded amber varieties, with deposits in the Hukawng Valley of northern Myanmar dating to the mid-Cretaceous period — approximately 99 million years ago. Its characteristic deep orange-red to golden-yellow colouration comes from the oxidation of the original resin over geological time. The dark cortex visible on one face of this specimen is the natural outer crust formed during fossilisation.
This specimen shows clear flow lines and fibrous inclusions in the macro shots, which are natural features of the resin's formation. The translucent golden zones allow light to pass through, making it suitable for display under direct or UV light, where it exhibits strong fluorescence.
Suitability
This piece is suited for mineral collectors, lapidary rough cutting (the translucent zones offer workable material), and display as a fine specimen. It is not a polished or finished gem. The dark cortex matrix on the reverse side is intact and unaltered.
Note: This specimen may contain preserved vegetation or animal-derived particles. These are natural inclusions and are part of the specimen's geological character.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is Burmese amber the same as Baltic amber?
No. Burmese amber (Burmite) is significantly older — approximately 99 million years versus Baltic amber's 44 million years — and typically shows deeper orange-red tones with a harder, denser resin structure.
Q: Can raw Burmese amber be cut and polished for jewellery?
Yes, the translucent zones in rough Burmese amber are workable for lapidary cutting. However, the dark cortex areas are generally removed during shaping, as they are opaque matrix material.
Q: How do I verify if amber is real and not plastic or copal?
Genuine amber floats in saturated saltwater, shows strong UV fluorescence (blue-green or yellow), and does not melt easily with a hot needle — it chars and smells of pine resin. Plastic and copal behave differently under these tests.
