Burmese Amber with Grasshopper Inclusion
An authentic specimen of Burmese amber (burmite), distinguished by its warm honey-gold transparency and the presence of a natural insect inclusion. 

The piece measures 3.5 × 1.5 cm 
and weighs 3.1 g, 

making it well-proportioned and suitable for display or jewelry mounting.
The inclusion is a fossilized grasshopper, preserved in three dimensions with visible details of the hind legs adapted for jumping and the segmented body structure. From a taxonomic perspective, it most likely belongs to:
Order: Orthoptera
Suborder: Caelifera
Probable family: Acrididae (short-horned grasshoppers)
Burmese amber is dated to the mid-Cretaceous (~99 million years old), giving this specimen notable scientific and collector value. The preservation quality of the inclusion and the clarity of the resin matrix make it suitable both for paleontological collections and as a rare decorative piece.
