Introduction to Burmese Amber

Burmese amber, also called Burmite, is fossilized tree resin. Its colors, clarity and inclusions offer varied possibilities for collecting, carving and jewelry. Compare the actual piece in consistent lighting, inspect its condition and ask for documented provenance and treatment information. Weight alone does not establish quality, age or future resale value.

Understanding the Price Per Gram

Please note that the different prices shown for each weight range refer to the approximate size of each individual piece, not the total combined weight. For example, if you are looking for large pieces weighing between 500 grams to 2,000 grams each, the price per gram will be higher compared to smaller pieces because such large sizes are very rare to find. In contrast, if you request smaller pieces โ€” for instance, from 5 grams to 15 grams each, with a total order of 3,000 grams in Dark Cognac color โ€” the price will be only USD 1.2โ€“1.7 per gram, not including up to 25% discount for orders of 5,000 grams or more under the same specification.

Additional Notes

  • A Note on Quality: We carefully select and collect rough Burmese amber in the best condition possible. Our goal is to ensure that each piece has minimal inclusions and no visible cracks. However, please note that since these are natural rough stones, certain internal features or hidden inclusions may not be fully visible until the piece is cut or polished. Each stone remains unique, carrying its natural character and beauty.

  • Bulk Discount: Buyers purchasing over 5 kg per lot may receive 10โ€“25% discount depending on mix and size uniformity.

  • Origin and identification: Ask for the actual lotโ€™s provenance, identity and any treatment disclosure. A general collection description or photograph does not independently verify these details.

  • Science and evaluation: Amber preserves resin from ancient trees and may contain plant or animal inclusions. Do not assign a particular tree species or exact geological age to an individual piece without supporting evidence. Evaluate condition, dimensions, inclusions and documented provenance alongside weight.

  • Size Reference: 1โ€“<20g = small pebble pieces; 150โ€“<500g = palm-sized; 500โ€“2000g = museum-grade specimens.

  • Price Factors: Prices are influenced by clarity, color rarity, weight, inclusions, and demand.

  • Retail Multipliers: Retail sellers often mark up by 25โ€“40%, especially for cut or polished pieces.
