Blue Amber from Sumatra – Nature’s Hidden Fire

Deep in the tropical forests of Sumatra, Indonesia, lies one of the world’s rarest treasures: Blue Amber. Unlike any other amber, this extraordinary fossilized resin glows with a mysterious blue sheen under sunlight or UV light, a natural phenomenon caused by its unique molecular structure and volcanic origins. While amber has been cherished for thousands of years, Blue Amber is among the rarest varieties, found only in a few places on Earth.

Formed millions of years ago from ancient tree resin, Blue Amber carries within it the history of Sumatra’s primeval forests. Its rarity and beauty have made it highly sought after by collectors, jewelers, and healers alike. When polished or carved, it reveals warm golden tones that shift into shimmering blue reflections, creating an almost otherworldly effect.

From raw natural stones to hand-carved creations and unique jewelry pieces, every specimen I offer is carefully chosen for its quality and brilliance. Many of the carvings capture the artistry and spirit of the island, while polished beads and pendants bring the stone’s natural beauty into wearable form.

At SaharaGems, my Blue Amber collection represents both the wonder of nature and the dedication of skilled hands. These are not mass-produced items — they are rare, hand-selected pieces brought from deep in the Indonesian forests to collectors and admirers worldwide.

✨ Discover the glow of Blue Amber from Sumatra in the form of raw stones, carvings, and jewelry, available now in my Etsy shop: SaharaGems on Etsy.

In Memory of Marc Jost and Peter Marmet

Without Marc Jost of Spacejewels Switzerland and Peter Marmet, I would never have ventured so deeply into the fascinating world of meteorites. I still remember meeting them for the first time in 2008 at the Mineral Fair in Bern. What began as an encounter between collectors and traders quickly grew
