Please see my feedback. I have been selling amber fossils for over 10 years on eBay and do not sell fake amber only genuine material from now extinct plant sources not glass or plastic embedded with present day inclusions.Burmese (Burmite) amber is difficult to acquire and has been dated to be Cretaceous in age (around 100 million years old) and would have been sticky resin during the time of the dinosaursand is being mined in the Hukawng Valley in Myanmar(Burma).In Dece...mber of 2016, a portion of the tail of a small dinosaur was reported in a piece of burmite amber!This is a fully polished piece of Burmite (Burmese) amber that contains a giant insect that lived during the Cretaceous Period that looks like an alien from another world! It is most likely a fulgoroid of some type.The insect measures 9 mm in length and its large size makes it quite unique. It is one of the largest fulgoroids I have seen in Burmite amber.Please click on or mouse over images to see a larger view.It is fascinating to note that this insect would have been on the Earth at the time of the dinosaurs!Pleasesee my other resin fossils including Dominican amber with inclusions, largeColombian copal with inclusions, and very rare Indonesian ambers (some oflovely blue and green color).The piece itself weighs 2.0 grams with dimensions of 2.9 cm length by 1.5 cm width and 0.5 cm height. NOTE: 2.54 cm is 1 inch.I do combine items for up to 7 days to save on shipping costs. Please contact me if you purchase more than one item so I can send you a combined invoice so you do not overpay on shipping.International Buyers: Please note that I ship using First Class Mail International; however, I will also ship using Priority Mail International Small Flat Rate Box. This method is more expensive though.A SPECIAL NOTE CONCERNING INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please understand that import duties, taxes and charges are NOT included in the selling price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.Please check your country's customs office to determine what these additional charges may be prior to bidding/buying.I cannot guarantee delivery of your item in a set amount of time. Different country's customs offices take longer to process items than others do.Lastly, I do not mark merchandise values below their true value or mark items as "gifts." U.S. and International government regulations prohibit such behavior. Honesty is the best option.I only sell genuine, all-natural, non-heat treated, reconstituted, or color enhanced amber. This piece could be used as a specimen or in a piece of jewelry. Thank you for your consideration. This amber will ship worldwide at $14.00 U.S. I will combine items to save on shipping for up to a 7 day period and usually ship within a 24 hour period. PAYMENT BY PAYPAL ONLY PLEASE.
Important Notice to Buyers in the States of VT and RI: I regret that due to recent Supreme Court decision overturning Quill and changing Sales Tax collection guidelines I will no longer be able to do business with you. Should you accidentally bid or purchase an item from me, I will cancel the transaction and you should receive a refund if needed. This is because I cannot meet the guidelines of these states to collect and report sales tax. This list may change as other states make decisions. I hope the eBay platform will be able to collect for small sellers in the future so this will not be necessary.
Please note that the saltwater test to identify real from fake amber is not reliable. The saltwater test claims that real amber will float in saltwater while fake amber will sink.
However, many amber sources or even specimens will not float in saltwater as their botanical (plant) composition as well as fossil inclusions are such that they are more dense than saltwater and so sink. I do not sell fake amber. My feedback should help demonstrate this.
