Authentic Dominican Amber for Sale
Welcome to TerraTreasures and Adventures101 amber pages. We offer authentic rare
museum quality Dominican amber display specimens of rare insects in amber and also
authentic rare Dominican blue amber for sale. Our collections include museum quality rare
insects in amber, unusual botanicals and flowers in amber and also rare Dominican blue
amber.
We have traveled many times to the Dominican Republic where we have chiseled
beautiful amber gemstones out of the lignite layers deep in the amber mines north of
Santiago. We have excavated in the Palo Quemado and Los CaCaos blue amber mines
and also in La Nueva Toca and the world famous La Toca amber mines way up in the
mountains north of Santiago. For many years we have extensively collected mid
Cretaceous New Jersey amber in the Raritan formation of central New Jersey and have
traveled many times to collect late Cretaceous and early Paleocene amber in the Hanna
formation of eastern Wyoming. We have collected mid Cretaceous amber in the Black
Creek formation of eastern North Carolina and we have spent weeks collecting mid
Cretaceous amber in the northern most Tundra of Alaska. In October of 2003 we traveled to the western Aleutian Islands some 1000 miles west of
Anchorage to explore and collect Miocene amber and in December of 2003 we were
back in the Dominican Republic to collect Miocene amber from the Palo Quemado
amber mines which have recently closed due to the miners finding little amber. Some of our most recent collecting trips have been in October of 2003 to the western Aleutian Islands some 1000 miles west of Anchorage to explore and collect Miocene amber, August of 2004 and April of 2006 we were back in the Dominican Republic to collect Miocene amber from the Palo Quemado amber mines which have recently closed due to the miners finding little amber, we were back to the Dominican Republic in April of 2006 to video in the La Toca amber mines, and most recently in August of 2007 we excavated in La Toca and La Bucara. The La Toca amber mines had much water whereas on the other ridgeline La Bucara was nearly dry! We have donated many hundreds of amber specimens to museums in the United States
and have several dozen new species of insects in amber named after us. Exploring for
and collecting amber along with the examination and research of amber is our passion.
