Types of Amber

There have been seven main colors and 250 different shades of amber identified. Amber is usually associated with an orange color but other colors such as green, blue and white also available. Green and blue colors are very rare.

There are two main types of amber: Baltic Amber and Dominican Amber

Baltic amber is over 40 million years old with colors ranging from light to dark tones of yellow. It is one of the most valuable types of amber and is over 40 million years old. The opaque form of Baltic amber is sometimes white.

Dominican amber is slightly younger than Baltic amber as it can be between 25 and 40 million years old. It is also far more likely to have insects or plants trapped inside, which is particularly appealing when it comes to ring designs.
