Dominican Amber Dolphin Figurine

Millions of years of Caribbean sunlight, captured in a single graceful form.

Deep within the mountains of Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, artisan hands carved this luminous amber dolphin from fossilized resin that has rested in the earth for 15–20 million years. Each piece carries the warmth of ancient tropical forests and the brilliance of one of the world's most prized gemstones — a treasure that is as geological as it is beautiful.

What's Included

One hand-carved Dominican amber dolphin figurine (the exact piece shown in the photos) packed in nice box with certificate of authenticity.

The Stone

Dominican amber originates from the Hymenaea protera tree, extinct for millions of years, whose fossilized resin was preserved in the mountainous mining regions of La Cumbre and La Toca near Puerto Plata. Internationally recognized for its exceptional clarity, rich honey and cognac tones, and rare natural inclusions — plant fragments and organic material frozen in time — Dominican amber is prized above Baltic amber for its gemstone-like brilliance and transparency. Occasional specimens display the legendary blue amber fluorescence, one of nature's rarest optical phenomena.
