Item Description

There are only a few organic substances that are considered gemstones (coral, pearls and amber are the three big ones that come to mind), but you rarely see an example like this on the market, so if you've always wanted a piece of this beautiful material, do not miss out on this one for a great price. Everybody is familiar with Amber containing insect inclusions due to the Jurassic Park films. These specimens are now prized and sought after by collectors for their clarity and quality. This good sized piece not only features an insect inclusion (it appears to be a species of gnat or wasp beautifully suspended inside), but also several well-preserved leaves, and MULTIPLE MOVING WATER BUBBLE INCLUSIONS! In my experience, a good sized piece of Amber with an insect, leaf and moving water bubble inclusions is exceptionally hard to find, especially in such a good sized piece like this! The close up photos / video show the wonderful detail of the inclusions.  Originally we had posted that there was only one moving water bubble, but it turns out there are several once you look closely. A great chance to pick up a piece of this classic and beloved material for a wonderful price. Whether you see this as a mineral, a fossil or somewhere in between, it's really cool stuff and not terribly easy to find on the market in such good quality. Priced at $4,644.50 high retail
