Beautiful piece of fossil Burmese amber (Burmite) from the Middle Cretaceous (Cenomanian), dating to about 99 million years old.
This natural specimen comes from the famous Hukawng Valley (Tanai, Myanmar), one of the most important amber fossil deposits in the world.
It contains a natural inclusion of a prehistoric insect, perfectly visible under proper lighting or with a loupe, accompanied by delicate plant inclusions, providing a remarkable testimony to the ecosystem that coexisted with the dinosaurs.
The amber exhibits a beautiful yellow-to-hhoney transparency, ideal for observation and collection.
