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.Dominican amber is known for the clarity as well as variety of its inclusions. Such things as insects, arachnids, and botanicals can be found. This is a large, cabochon shaped, fully polished amber fossil gemstone from the mines in the D...ominican Republic that contains a well preserved spider with a homopteran insect. Dominican amber has been dated to between 17 and 20 million years old according to geologic studies!Please mouse over images to see the pictures better.This piece originated from the Dominican Republic. The piece itself weighs 3.1 grams and has approximate dimensions of 3.8 cm length, 2 cm width, and 0.5 cm height. NOTE: 2.54 cm is approximately 1 inch. This piece could be used as a specimen or in a piece of jewelry. I also offer other Dominican amber specimens for sale along with Burmite amber and rare blue Indonesian amber. 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 1 business day. PAYMENT BY PAYPAL ONLY PLEASE.Do please consider the rare Burmese (Burmite) amber along with my large Colombian copal specimens with a variety of inclusions I am currently listing at low starting bids.I will combine items for up to a 7 day period to save on shipping costs.International Buyers: Please note that I ship using First Class Mail International.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.
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.
