Dinosaur age Fossil Burmite AMBER with Bug Lot! AUTHENTICITY TESTED! 1 Per Order

Description

Hi All!
These are beautiful pieces of Burmite Amber, each with one insect from the late Cretaceous of Myanmar! The insects all show fantastic preservation, with most limbs, segments, wings, and antennae articulated and in great detail! The ambers have a wide range of colors including light, dark, gold, and red citrine with good to excellent clarity depending on the piece!
Each comes in a 1-inch gem jar for easy transport and display!
Each order is for one
piece
of amber which will be picked at random. A sample of the insects and pieces available is shown in the pictures.
Amber is petrified tree resin (not sap, resin is much thicker). It forms when trees secrete resin, and the resin is quickly washed away by water and deposited in a lake where it is covered by sediment (if the resin isn’t washed away it decomposes or gets eaten). Along the way, small particles of dust, bits of plant material, and even small animals like insects and lizards can become trapped in the resin which hardens and preserves whatever is trapped within (aka inclusions). Myanmar amber, also known as Burmite, is world renowned gem quality amber known for excellent inclusions of insects, plants, and even small vertebrates! The preservation in amber can be so good it inspired a major portion of Jurassic Park, where blood sucking insects trapped in amber provided the DNA needed to clone dinosaurs! While the science of cloning dinosaurs from amber is, for better or worse, not a reality the pristine fossils of small animals that are rarely fossilized in any other way is very real! Makes for a terrific addition to any fossil collection or even a gem for high end jewelry!
Fake Amber is a plague on the fossil market, each piece has been tested individually to guarantee authenticity!
All my items come with a Certificate of Authenticity!
