Pickup available at Turnmeyers - Front Royal
Usually ready in 1 hour
A tiny moment from the ancient past, preserved in amber.
This beautiful real amber specimen measures approximately 1.30 inches and contains a remarkably visible winged insect inclusion that appears wasp-like. The insect can be viewed from both sides of the polished amber, with its wings, legs and body preserved within the golden material.
Amber with insect inclusions offers an extraordinary glimpse into prehistoric ecosystems. Formed when ancient tree resin hardened and was preserved over time, amber occasionally trapped insects and other small organisms, protecting delicate details that would rarely survive through ordinary fossilization.

Because amber is a natural material, variations, internal inclusions, small fractures and other characteristics are part of each specimen's unique history.
