Domi Lanpo, why is it so expensive? ?
The so-called Domi Lanper refers to a unique amber variety produced by The Dominican Republic. The price of the better-quality Dome Blue Pock in the market has already broken through 10,000. As the amber market heats up, prices continue to rise. Climbing, why an ordinary amber can call such a high price? Please listen to me for your analysis and analysis:
Dominica is an island country with an area of ​​about 65% of the island. Haiti to the east accounts for 35% of the rest of the island. There are two main amber producing areas in Dominica, one is the northern mountain range between Santiago and Puerto Plata in the country. There are about 10 mining sites in this area, located in the area of ​​800~1000 meters above sea level. Another mining area is in the country. Mount Eure in the west began mining in 1970. The map below shows several major amber origins in Dominica.
Columbus was the first European to go to Dominica. He brought some gifts and merchandise, including a Baltic amber necklace. It was a very noble gift in Europe at the time. What surprised him was that the local Taino indigenous brought him to trade. There is actually amber. Although the Western world has known that Dominican has produced amber for hundreds of years, it has been widely known in the last 50 years and has become one of the main producing areas of amber.
The species of Domi Lanpo is formed, which is the Hymenaea protera of the leguminous genus. This tree is very similar to the current Hymenaea verrucosa in West Africa.
About 40 million years ago, the luxuriant rainforests of Dominica have many Hymenaea trees that are now extinct. It secretes a lot of resin when it is injured. Before the resin is hardened, sometimes the leaves, flowers, pollen, insects, reptiles and other organisms of the plant will be stuck and then completely covered by the resin. The larger biological force is larger and more likely to break free. Amber from large organisms is extremely rare, while amber with smaller organisms is more abundant.
In fact, the color of the Lanper body is not blue. It rotates under normal light. When the angle is right, it will appear blue. The angle of the stone will disappear again. When the main light source is behind the body, its light is the blue. This is a fluorescent phenomenon.
Most of the mining areas in Lanpo are in caves dug on steep slopes. That is because the earth's crust or landslide and other reasons, the mining area only exposed the surface, most of the mining area is between the steep slopes of the hillside, the road to the mining area is usually only enough people, cars and machinery can not go up. And because the hardness of amber is very low, mining amber can not use explosives, so as not to blow the amber into pieces. Miners can only use the original tools such as crossbows and hammers to dig tunnels, so mining amber is a very hard job. In addition, the original stone is usually placed in the vicinity of the gray carbonaceous layer of lignite. When it hits the rain, the tunnel will accumulate water and will wait until the water recedes to continue working.
The autumn and winter are rainy seasons, which can only be mined from May to September each year. The harsh environment and the backwardness of technology, the production of Domica and Lanper is less than 20 pounds per month, and only about half of the skin and sporadic debris are removed. There are many cracks in this half, and amber with complex inclusions. So Lanpo, which can be used for jewelry, can be said to be rare. The output is very small, and the Dominican Republic bans the export of Lanper, so the Domi Lanper boutique that we can see in China is extremely rare.
All in all, the reason why Dominica Lanpo is expensive is because:
First, it looks like blue and blue, and its dreamy color makes the Dominican Blue Perp have a very high ornamental value.
Second, it has a very high artistic processing value, especially the multi-meter blue lop, which is completely transparent and free of impurities. The color of the body is lemon yellow, and under a slightly strong natural light or white light, the surface will show a beautiful pure blue, just like magic. It’s dazzling. (Domino blue light blue, no need for purple light assist)
Third, it is only produced in the small island country of Dominica, and only the annual output of purely artificial mining is extremely low, which can not meet the needs of the international market.
