{"product_id":"raw-burmese-amber-specimen-74g","title":"74g Raw Burmese Amber Specimen — Natural Fossil Resin, Myanmar Origin","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a single, unprocessed amber specimen sourced directly from Myanmar (Burma) — one of the world's most significant amber-producing regions. The piece weighs 74 grams and measures 75 × 50 × 45 mm, making it a substantial display or lapidary-grade specimen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe exterior retains its natural dark cortex — the original bark-like outer layer formed during fossilisation — while the interior glows in layered tones of orange, golden brown, yellow, and black-brown under direct light. Clarity is translucent, with visible internal flow patterns and resin stratification typical of Burmese amber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecimen Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Amber (Natural Fossil Resin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Myanmar (Burma)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 74 Grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75 × 50 × 45 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orange, Golden Brown, Yellow, Black-Brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClarity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Translucent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShape \/ Form:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rough Loose (unprepared, as-mined)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFossil Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Amber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFluorescence (UV):\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTreatments:\u003c\/strong\u003e None — 100% Natural, Earthly Mined\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMay contain preserved inclusions of ancient vegetation, plant matter, or animal-derived particles — a characteristic feature of Burmese amber specimens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs Burmese amber different from Baltic amber?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Burmese amber (Burmite) is significantly older — approximately 99 million years — compared to Baltic amber at around 44 million years. It is also harder and more likely to contain well-preserved prehistoric inclusions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan raw amber be cut and polished for jewellery?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this specimen is lapidary-grade rough. It can be cabbed, carved, or shaped by a lapidary into pendants, rings, or display pieces, though the final yield depends on internal clarity and cortex thickness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes amber glow under UV light?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmber typically fluoresces blue-green to yellow under UV light. This specimen shows moderate fluorescence, which is a useful authenticity indicator — synthetic resins often fluoresce differently or not at all.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folkmarketgems","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53345769619745,"sku":"FMG-RAW-74","price":650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0845\/4665\/0401\/files\/amber-gemstone-rough.webp?v=1787406872","url":"https:\/\/www.folkmarketgems.com\/products\/raw-burmese-amber-specimen-74g","provider":"Folkmarketgems","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
