SPECIAL PROPERTIES OF CHIAPAS AMBER

Chiapas is one of only three highly fluorescent amber types in the world because of its high concentration of a hydrocarbon called Perylene. Only Dominican amber and Indonesian amber can compare in fluorescence, with Indonesian amber being extremely soft in comparison. 

Chiapas amber is also the most phosphorescent of all types of amber in the world, meaning it will not just fluoresce under a UV light, but will glow for some time afterward as well.

Besides being one of the hardest amber types in the world (being as hard as Burmese amber and Dominican Amber), the most phosphorescent, one of the three most fluorescent, and having one of the largest varieties of natural colors, Chiapas amber is also known to be warm to the touch and extremely electrostatically conductive.

Further, some claim that amber has the following properties:

  • Balances emotions.

  • Attracts good luck.

  • Eliminates fears.

  • Relieves headache.

  • Clears the mind.

  • Dissolves negative energy.

  • Helps develop patience and wisdom.

  • Protects against harmful EMFs.

  • Enhances sexual energy.
