Description: All of our Fossils are 100% Genuine Specimens & come with a Certificate of Authenticity Amber Type: Baltic amber Age: Eocene Location: Baltic Sea Scale cube=1cm: Full sizing please see photo Grade: 'A' Large This 56 to 33.9 million year old Baltic amber is a Premier Specimen. It has been fully inspected & comes with a certificate of identification. Amber inclusions are unfortunate animals, insects, plants etc. which became entombed in tree resin (not tree sap) millions of years ago. With the inclusion engulfed, the resin slowly hardened through a natural polymerization of the original organic compounds. This hardened material is known as Copal, which preserves the inclusion perfectly. Through time the Copal becomes buried in the ground and, over a several million year process, slowly turns into what we know as Amber. Incredibly this process has allowed us to marvel at ancient specimens frozen in time, as if captured only yesterday. We would always suggest using a magnifying aid to view your specimen to truly appreciate the inclusions stunning detail. Amber inclusions can include such specimens as flies, gnats, midges, beetles, wasps, ants, spiders, cockroach's, seeds, plants & more. ACTUAL AS SEEN: The image shows the EXACT specimen you will receive. The specimen has been carefully hand selected and photographed. Measurements are as accurate as possible, though be aware measuring precise dimensions can be difficult from irregular shaped items. Whilst we portray colours as close to life-like as we can, colours will vary if taken in sunlight, indoors, from monitor to monitor and device to device. Once this specimen is sold, we will update this listing with new similar selected item, with a new photo and dimensions.
