Item Description

Everybody is familiar with Amber containing insect inclusions due to the Jurassic Park films. The Amber from the Dominican Republic is really high quality, among the best in the world. These specimens are not only prized for their clarity, but they also can feature highly desirable and sought after insect "fossils" preserved inside. It's important to note that most of these pieces only features a single insect, so to find MULTIPLE insect inclusions like this is rare, especially in a piece this size. This miniature piece has excellent internal clarity and hosts several (not just one) insect inclusions of what could be a species of gnat or beetle beautifully suspended inside. The close up photos show the wonderful detail of the insects. A great chance to pick up a piece of this classic and beloved material. 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.
