Panther Sculpture – Hand-Carved from Rare Dominican Blue/Red Amber (1.5 kg)

One-of-a-kind piece – natural amber with optical blue sheen

Offered for auction is an extraordinary sculpture of a panther, carved entirely from a single, solid piece of extremely rare Dominican amber. Commonly referred to as “blue amber” due to its remarkable optical effect — a glowing blue sheen when exposed to sunlight — this type of amber is found only in select regions of the Dominican Republic and is considered one of the most valuable organic gemstones in the world.

This 1.5 kg piece displays exceptional craftsmanship. The panther is captured mid-motion, muscles tensed in a lifelike pose of readiness and strength. The translucent amber transitions from deep crimson to a rich purplish hue, revealing flashes of blue in natural light — a visual phenomenon highly prized by collectors.
