| Polished Red Chiapas Mexican Amber Parcel (check latest price) ![]() Shipping: Seller is located in Big Run, PA, United States Seller will ship to worldwide Shipping Cost: $ 4.0 (Flat) | |
Chiapas amber from southern Mexico is known for its variety of naturally occurring colors along with its clarity. This auction is for a 10.5 grampolished parcel of 12 red Chiapas (Mexican) amber pieces. Most pieces I would describe as cherry red in color while one piece in particular is more orange-red. The 12 pieces range in size from around 1 to 2 cm in length and have a mass of 0.3 to 1.6 grams each. True red amber is rare. The main theory behind why these pieces are red is due to oxidation of the amber. These pieces could be used in jewelry or kept as specimens. I personallyhand-sanded and completely polished this amber from Chiapas rough with pictures taken in natural sunlight. These pieces are not with any fossil insects; however, a few pieces may contain some inclusions. These inclusions aid in giving the piece its color. Please see myother amber auctions consisting mainly of Dominican amber with insect and botanical inclusions as well as rareDominican blue amber. Thank you for your consideration. I will ship worldwide at a cost of $4.00 U.S. I will combine items to save on shipping for up to a 10 day period. NO INTERNATIONAL MONEY ORDERS PLEASE. ![]() | |
