Mayan Red Amber is extremely rare and difficult to mine. This extraordinary red amber is only found in Chiapas, Mexico. Rare examples of this amber have a green or blue sheen. This amber was still sap in the Miocene era, specifically the Oligocene era, 23.8 to 33.7 Million years ago. The tree that produced this is the leguminous Hymenaea courbaril, a close relative of the Hymenaea tree which produced the Dominican variety. Sometimes bugs, dirt, or leaf matter was trapped in the sap and fossilised inside of the amber.
