Item Description

Here we have a fantastic example of this wonderful and classic material from the Dominican Republic. Specimens of Amber (especially those with insect inclusions) have been glorified and in the public consciousness for the better part of 30 years thanks to the Jurassic Park film franchise. This miniature sized specimen is from the classic Sabana locality and features a few very well-preserved insects completely frozen inside. It's very important to note that it is incredibly difficult to obtain specimens of this material with MULTIPLE insect inclusions inside like this. We try our best to find pieces with ONE insect, so multiple is a big deal in our experience. This material is always popular on the market, and even though its more of a fossil than a mineral, it's still a cool display piece of this well known material. A good specimen of this well-known material, best viewed under the microscope, but we did photograph the piece with a Canon MP-E 65 mm macro lens to better illustrate the quality.
