Burmese amber, also known as amber from Myanmar, is a type of fossilized tree resin that is found primarily 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 to the Cretaceous period (pre-T. Rex!). Its deep golden color, leaning toward reddish-brown, and its transparency make it highly prized by both collectors and scientists, offering a rare window into prehistoric ecosystems.
