Insect in Baltic Amber
Imagine being trapped in amber for 40,000,000 to 60,000,000 years! Each sample of these insects trapped in amber displays an insect that was captured from a treasure trove of fossilized insects from the Baltic Sea.
Dating back to the Eocene period, these pieces come in a variation of shapes and sizes with at least one insect trapped inside each sample. The average sizing of each bead is 1/4" - 1/2". Sizing of the specimen refers to the amber and not to the insects trapped inside. There is a wide variation of samples due to the way each amber piece was formed.
Each specimen is enclosed in a glass-topped Riker box case measuring 4.5” x 3.5” and contains a small information card that serves as a certificate of authenticity.
