GEM Dinosaur age Burmite AMBER Large Insect Larvae! TESTED FOR AUTHENTICITY

Description

Hi All!
This a GORGEOUS, TOP GEM-QUALITY piece of amber with a PRISTINE Large  Insect Larvae from the late Cretaceous of Myanmar! The Larvae shows fantastic preservation, detail, and measure 5 mm which is very large for an insect in Burmite Amber which usually measure 1 mm or less! The amber is gorgeous gold citrine with EXCELLENT GEM QUALITY clarity! It comes in a 1-inch gem jar for easy transport and display! The amber's dimensions measure 15 x 9 x 3.5 millimeters!
Amber is petrified tree resin (not sap, resin is much thicker). It forms when trees secrete resin, and the resin is quickly washed away by water and deposited in a lake where it is covered by sediment (if the resin isn’t washed away it decomposes or gets eaten). Along the way, small particles of dust, bits of plant material, and even small animals like insects and lizards can become trapped in the resin which hardens and preserves whatever is trapped within (aka inclusions). Myanmar amber, also known as Burmite, is world renowned gem quality amber known for excellent inclusions of insects, plants, and even small vertebrates! The preservation in amber can be so good it inspired a major portion of Jurassic Park, where blood sucking insects trapped in amber provided the DNA needed to clone dinosaurs! While the science of cloning dinosaurs from amber is, for better or worse, not a reality the pristine fossils of small animals that are rarely fossilized in any other way is very real! Makes for a terrific addition to any fossil collection or even a gem for high end jewelry!
Fake Amber is a plague on the fossil market, this piece has been tested to guarantee authenticity!
