AMBER

In Chiapas the amber locations are in the municipalities of Simojovel, Huitiupan, Totolapa, and The forest, Nuevo Solistahuacán, San Andrés Duraznal and Pantelho. 

 Our amber gems can include remains of plants; the amber contains a high range of arthropod suckers of blood like mosquitoes and fleas fossils. We also could find perforated flies, gnats, gadflies  and ticks. 

 The process of extraction of the Amber of Chiapas is 100 % handmaded, contrary to the Amber of the Baltic zone and Sto. Domingo where to extract this resin a cause a serious deterioration to the Natural(Stone Brazil) environment of the Amber. 

In the Amber of Chiapas all the botanical wealth of the Tropical Forests is contained. 

As a result of these deposits we can find 48 different tonalities in the Amber of Chiapas.  

Inside colors as the yellow, orange, red, coffee, blued  green as well as the white and the black one. 

The Healing Properties of the Amber and of the Amber of Chiapas especially speak to each other of their great value, since it is classified like one of the most beautiful and of more quality in the World, but rather the best Amber in the World.

JADE

Chiapas jadeite, which is a pyroxene of ideal composition NaAlSi₂O₆. It was extensively used in Pre-Hispanic times by the Indians for carving into art works  beads, pendants and mosaic masks, which were owned by priests and royalty. Weapons of war included jade adzes and clubs. The Mayans and Olmecs even used jadeite for tooth inlays. Drilling, sawing and shaping was achieved by abrasion with wood or Slate(Crema Marfil) implements loaded with sand, preferably a red garnet sand obtained from the rivers. Very fine examples of ancient jade That lapidary work can be seen in the Museums of Anthropology in Mexico City and Jalapa.

Our gems include prehispanic superb replicas of Aztec and Mayan figurines (labeled, this is a replica of a valuable figurine in a specific Museum of Anthropology) and there is no shortage of Mayan glyphs and other ancient carvings to copy. The latter may be etched on large Slabs(G636) of polished black jade and look magnificent. Mosaic jade death masks are popular and make fine ornaments for one's home jewelry, gifts and brute Stone(Labrador Antico)s. The rough material is obtained from the mountains around Chalchihuitan, some 70 kms north of San Cristóbal.
