AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Cretaceous amber (Cenomanian) dating to 99 million years old from the Hukawng Valley, Tanai, Myanmar.

This amber can be kept as is or mounted on a pendant or a ring.

This amber is exceptional because it contains rare inclusions.
It offers a good panorama of prehistoric insects.

It is a true window opening onto the Cretaceous period.
Exploring the amber landscape with a binocular loupe is a fascinating journey back to the time of the dinosaurs, discovering their environment, twigs, spores, and insect remains.

Ideal gifts for children passionate about dinosaurs and paleontology.
Presentation frame available as an option

Myanmar (Burma) fossil amber, or burmite, is a fossilized resin from Araucaria formed in the Cretaceous when dinosaurs lived (unlike Baltic amber which dates from the Eocene after the extinction of the dinosaurs or copal resins which are recent).
The insect trapped in this piece of amber thus lived alongside the dinosaurs (which inspired Jurassic Park).
This is a genuine piece of fossil amber, as evidenced by its blue fluorescence under UV light and its remanence (yellow phosphorescence, just after illumination) typical of Burmese ambers.
