A rare and spectacular piece of Burmese amber (Burmite), containing a perfectly preserved inclusion of an ancient wasp from the order Hymenoptera.

Item Type: Fossil cabochon (or natural, polished piece)
Specimen: Wasp (Order Hymenoptera)
Geological Period: Cretaceous, Cenomanian (approx. 99 million years)
Origin: Hukawng Valley, Myanmar (Burma)

Weight: 3.3 g

Condition: Excellent, fine details of the insect are clearly visible.
Additional Description:
The inclusion presents a laterally oriented wasp with remarkable anatomical details, including the antennae, legs, and body structure, preserved three-dimensionally in the translucent golden resin. The clarity and position of the insect make it an ideal specimen for both fossil collectors and natural sciences enthusiasts.
