About the Item
This exceptional Burmese amber specimen, dating back roughly 99 million years, offers a rare window into the ancient world. Known to collectors as a "menagerie," this piece preserves a remarkable range of inclusions: snakefly larvae, a pseudoscorpion, cockroaches, a spider, beetle larvae, Hymenoptera, and additional organic matter, each suspended within the translucent golden resin.
Formed during the Late Cretaceous period, when dinosaurs still roamed the earth, Burmese amber ranks among the oldest and most scientifically significant ambers known. Coveted for both its antiquity and the diversity of its inclusions, this specimen presents a captivating convergence of natural history, paleontology, and aesthetic beauty. Its clarity and content make it an extraordinary acquisition for discerning collectors.
