Japanese: • Amber and the fossils it contains have become famous thanks to the highly publicized film "Jurassic Park". In the South -West of the island, villagers improvise as miners and will extract Larimar, a blue stone with white swirls, in narrow galleries where oxygen is lacking. You will follow one of these men who, at the risk of his life, descends, every day, into deep wells to find enough larimar to feed his family. Tired of this dangerous life, he decides to leave for the center of the country to look for amber. You will enter with him into the guts dug with a pickaxe and a crowbar, where you know when you enter but never if you will come out alive. After a long search, before your eyes, the precious fossil resin will come out of the bowels of the earth. Eager to realize the benefit of his discovery, the man will go to the collectors who will give him a good price. To the wild rhythm of the carnival and Caribbean music, the amber passes from hand to hand, and some pieces reach several thousand pesos. The road is long before arriving at the Dominican artists who sculpt with great creativity the most beautiful pieces. The exceptional pieces will arrive at Place Vendôme in Paris, at the jeweler Tournaire to adorn certain of his creations.
