Dominican Amber

The Dominican Amber Museums in Santo Domingo and Puerto Plata are well worth visiting, both to find out how this precious resin is formed and to view some of the unusual pieces on display, these are one of the best places to buy a piece of Dominican Amber to take home.

35 million year old Dominican Republic Amber. Notice Trapped Air Bubbles an Excellent Piece of Amber.

Amber can also be purchased in jewelry shops and at Souvenir stalls throughout the country. If you do plan to buy some Amber, be careful as there are some very convincing plastic that looks identical to the real Amber!
