Rough Amber - unpolished with fossils

We Now Sell Rough Amber (Unpolished)

Amberica West is offering a few grades of rough Dominican amber. Gentle reminder that Dominican amber is considered to be some of the clearest and finest amber that is available on the market. Generally, Dominican amber has some of the best color and clarity of any of the ambers. It is considered fairly hard (for amber - remember amber is soft) and easy to work with.

Prices are in grams. There are 454 grams in a pound. But remember that amber is light. A gram may NOT be more than you think. In other words, 10 grams is not a lot!

We have not searched the amber for insects (honestly). You just never know what may show up! Finally, you may realize that these prices are rather inexpensive - they are. No reason to gouge people! The pictures were taken by grabbing into each grouping and taking a picture. So what you see is representative of what you get.

I know that everyone does not want the exact grams that are below. The shopping cart is not an easy thing to configure for this type of purchase. So when you want some other amount in grams, just let us know by email and we will sent you a link so that you can purchase it by credit card, yourself. You will notice that there are 5 groups A through E. They are NOT in order of least to most expensive.

All of the amber below is from the Dominican Republic and is about 25 or 26 million years old.

We will get your sample to you as soon as possible (usually mailed the same day or at worst, the next day). U.S. orders go out by Priority Mail, overseas as Air Mail. Books are normally mailed "Media Mail", unless they are light, in which case they are mailed first class. Overseas books are air mail unless the weight is prohibitive, in which case you will have the option of surface (ship) or paying a bit extra for air mail. All prices are in U.S. dollars. If you are overseas and want something other than normal air mail - contact us when you make the purchase. For any questions, please contact us at sales@ambericawest.com.
