DescriptionI see that the picture is inadequate in showing the insect. With the proper backlighting that you will easily achieve when it is in your hand the insects, although small, are perfectly clear.Amber is tree resin. Over millions of years it has hardened, but it has not changed its chemical nature. If you burn it it smells like incense. Amber has been coming out of the ground in the Baltic region and has been traded for thousands of years.I heard a paleontologist on the radio making a statement that fossils in general are extremely common and can be found all over the place.Over the decades I’ve been selling collectibles my market has been about 97% coins, 2% paper money, 1% everything else.
