Baltic Amber with Insects
Gorgeous pieces of Baltic Amber with insect inclusions - flies, mosquitoes, and spiders.
These are gorgeous pieces with at least one visible insect.
I personally find Amber fascinating. I bought a small USB microscope capable of 300x magnification; you can see some of the photos I've taken of insects with it.
The Amber found in the Baltic sea region is thought to date from the Eocene in age - although the exact age is somewhat argued upon in the scientific community - it is probably best to simply state that it is 'around 40 million years old'.
Most of the insects in this Amber will be at least visible by eye, but 10x or higher magnification is recommended.
- #1 - 18.1x11.3x8.7MM - three visible insects, although only one can be seen well - it may be possible to recut and polish the amber to better view these.
If requested in the 'order notes' section I can draw a circle around the insect on the surface of the Amber - this can be removed with solvents like acetone or nail polish remover but makes it easier to find the insect.
