Milky amberBurmese amber, also known as Burmite, is one of the world’s oldest and most captivating natural ambers—formed from fossilized pine resin over 100 million years ago. Each rough stone preserves the beauty of prehistoric forests, holding within it a sense of warmth, purity, and timeless energy. Collectors and artisans value rough Burmese amber for its natural form, authenticity, and the potential it offers for unique creations. While rough Burmese amber holds great charm and affordability, many collectors also choose cut and polished pieces for their enhanced clarity, refined color, and lasting brilliance. Polished amber often reveals the hidden inner beauty of the stone, including ancient inclusions or rich tones unseen in rough form. Though the price can be two to three times higher, the refined pieces are ready for display or jewelry use and tend to hold stronger resale and collectible value over time. For those seeking both natural origin and elegant presentation, polished Burmese amber offers an ideal balance of rarity, beauty, and investment potential.
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 — for instance, from 5 grams to 15 grams each, with a total order of 3,000 grams in Dark Cognac color — the price will be only USD 1.2–1.7 per gram, not including up to 25% discount for orders of 5,000 grams or more under the same specification.
