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.In June 2017, a nearly complete extinct species of bird was discovered in Burmite amber!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).This is a fully polished piece of Burmite (Burmese) amber. It contains a beautifully preserved Mycetophilid fly and a parasitic wasp from thetime of the dinosaurs. It could be fashioned into a fascinating piece of jewelry! Please see all the pictures. Clicking on them should allow you to see a larger view.The insects would havebeen on the Earth at the time of the dinosaurs including T-Rex and Triceratops!It makes for a fascinating specimen indeed.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 1.2 grams with dimensions of 1.4 cm length by 1.4 cm width and 0.95 cm height. NOTE: 2.54 cm is 1 inch.I do combine items for up to 7 days to save on shipping costs.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.Please note that thesaltwater test to identify real from fake amber is not reliable. The saltwatertest claims that real amber will float in saltwater while fake amber will sink. However, many ambersources or even specimens will not float in saltwater as their botanical(plant) composition as well as fossil inclusions are such that they are moredense than saltwater and so sink. I do not sell fake amber. My feedback shouldhelp demonstrate this.
