Factors influencing color difference
Two different factors affect this stone’s color. The first factor is the inclusion of bubbles in the rock. They block the light that enters the stone. This variation in lighting causes the differences in colors. The second factor is the source of the tree for the resin. Some colors are found in individual trees, and that accounts for the color difference. The color of this gemstone can be altered by applying heat.

Shop for translucent beads online or at jewelry stores in the neighborhood. When you are thinking of purchasing natural resin, look out for the stores who supply top quality Dominican gemstones. See if they are involved in direct selling, then they should be able to provide at reasonable prices.
