Sulawesi Amber Palm Stone Natural Indonesian Fossil Resin Genuine Collector Display Specimen with Certificate of Authenticity
£ 22.80
SULAWESI AMBER PALM STONE – NATURAL FOSSIL RESIN FROM INDONESIAThis genuine Sulawesi Amber Palm Stone is a beautifully polished specimen of
natural fossil resin sourced from Sulawesi, Indonesia. Carefully shaped into a smooth palm stone form, it highlights the rich colour and organic character that make Indonesian amber highly sought after by collectors. The photograph in this listing shows the exact specimen you will receive. Please refer to the images for full sizing details and scale.Your amber includes a Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic card, confirming it is a 100% genuine natural fossil resin specimen. WHAT IS AMBER – ORGANIC GEM MATERIALAmber is not a mineral but an organic gemstone formed from the fossilised resin of ancient trees. Over millions of years, tree resin hardened and underwent polymerisation and oxidation, transforming into the stable material known as amber.Sulawesi amber is generally dated to the Miocene epoch, approximately 5 to 23 million years old. During this period, tropical forests covered much of the region, and resin from prehistoric trees accumulated, was buried by sediment, and gradually fossilised under geological pressure and time.Unlike crystalline minerals, amber is amorphous and lacks a defined crystal system. Its composition consists primarily of complex organic compounds derived from plant resins. GEOLOGICAL ORIGIN – SULAWESI, INDONESIASulawesi is one of Indonesia’s recognised amber-producing regions. Deposits are typically found in sedimentary formations associated with ancient forest environments. Over time, tectonic activity and erosion exposed amber-bearing layers, allowing recovery of these fossil resin pieces.Sulawesi amber is valued for its warm tones, clarity, and occasional internal features. Depending on the specimen, it may display natural inclusions such as plant fragments, organic debris, or internal flow lines formed as the resin originally moved and hardened. COLOUR, CLARITY & PHYSICAL PROPERTIESThis Sulawesi Amber Palm Stone displays natural hues that may range from golden honey and cognac brown to deeper orange or reddish tones. Colour variation is influenced by oxidation levels, internal structure, and the original resin composition.Key characteristics include:
• Material Type: Fossilised tree resin (organic gemstone)
• Geological Age: Typically Miocene
• Crystal System: Amorphous (non-crystalline)
• Colour: Honey, amber, orange, brown
• Transparency: Transparent to translucent
• Lustre: Resinous
• Hardness: Approximately 2–2.5 on the Mohs scale
• Specific Gravity: Lightweight compared to most mineralsAmber is notably light in weight and warm to the touch compared to crystalline stones. The polished finish enhances its natural glow and depth of colour while preserving its organic character. No artificial dyes or treatments have been applied. PALM STONE SHAPE & DISPLAY APPEALThis specimen has been shaped and polished into a classic palm stone form, designed to sit comfortably in the hand. The smooth contours enhance the visual depth of the amber and allow light to pass through, revealing internal textures and natural patterns.Amber has been traditionally associated in spiritual practices with warmth and protection; these associations are cultural rather than scientific.Its rich golden tones make it a striking addition to mineral cabinets, fossil collections, decorative displays, or curated gemstone arrangements. AUTHENTICITY & INDIVIDUAL SELECTIONThis is a carefully chosen individual Sulawesi Amber specimen. The listing photographs show the exact piece you will receive, ensuring full confidence in your purchase. Please review the images for precise sizing and visual detail.Each palm stone is supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic card, confirming its genuine natural fossil origin.A beautiful example of Indonesian fossil resin, this Sulawesi Amber Palm Stone represents millions of years of natural history and makes a distinctive addition to any serious fossil or gemstone collection.
