Yes. The natural green amber comes from the Dominican Republic and Mexico. It is very rare in the Baltic countries, therefore most of the green amber jewelry you find on the market is enhanced and artificially colored Baltic amber to resemble green amber, most of the times with beautiful "sun spangles" or "scales". Sometimes the "green" gems are even painted on the back with some black paste and then baked. In recent years, some jewelry manufacturers have produced green amber and gave it the name "Caribbean Amber". But it is an industrially produced green gemstone made from hardened young tree resin like copal from Colombia. Colombian copal is sometimes only a few hundred years old and therefore relatively soft.
