Please see my response. I have been selling amber fossils for over 15 years on anddo not sell fake amber only genuine material from now extinct plant sourcesnot glass or plastic embedded with present day inclusions.
This fully polished specimen of all-natural authentic, Baltic amber from the Baltic Sea contains containsa pair of super rare, long tongued bees of the genus Electrapis and from Family Apidae. One of the bees is beautifully preserved while the other is missing part of its head. There is also a partial fly in this amber fossil.
Geological studies have dated Baltic amber to be between 40 and 50 million years old!
I also offer Dominican amber and Burmese (Burmite) amber with fossil inclusions for sale.
The piece itself weighs5.4 gramsand has approximate dimensions of3.5 cm length,1.7 cm width, and 1.1 cm height.NOTE: 2.5 cm is approximately 1 inch.

All amber I offer is authentic, non-treated material. Many of these specimens have been hand-sanded and polished by me. They have not been reconstituted nor are they plastic.
This amber is much more rare than the ever prevalent Baltic amber which originates from several countries and across Europe.
Dominican amber comes from one island source: the Dominican Republic which shares the island with Haitiand the supply is much smaller than that of Baltic amber which has been mined for centuries and now is mass mined as opposed to Dominican material which has been mined for only decades with picks and hammers by candlelight.
I will combine items for up to 7 days 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 offerding/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 truevalue or mark items as "gifts." U.S. and International government regulations prohibit such behavior. Honesty is the best option.
I only sell genuine, all-natural, non-heat treated, reconstituted,or color enhanced amber.Please note that the majority of Dominican amber is NOT fossiliferous as this piece. Fossiliferous pieces have more value. This piece could be used as a specimen or in a piece of jewelry. Thank you for your consideration. This amber will ship worldwide. I will combine items to save onshipping for up to a7 day period and usually ship within a 24 hour period.
Please note that the saltwatertest to identify real from fake amber is not reliable. The saltwater testclaims 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 more dense thansaltwater and so sink. I do not sell fake amber. My response should helpdemonstrate this.
