Description from the seller

Beautiful Ambra from 100 million years ago with an insect inside. Incredibly dense in this truly remarkable piece. There are at least three spiders, including two rare Ricinulei.
Burmese amber, also known as Myanmar amber, is a type of fossilized tree resin primarily found in the Hukawng Valley in Myanmar. It is renowned for the exceptional preservation of ancient life forms, including insects, plants, and other organisms, often trapped inside. It is estimated that this amber is about 99 million years old, dating back to the Cretaceous period (before T. Rex!). Its intense golden color, tending towards reddish-brown, and its transparency make it highly valued by both collectors and scientists, offering a rare window into prehistoric ecosystems.
