AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An extraordinary Dominican amber fossil. We've tried to convey its beauty, but nothing compares to holding it in your hands. This high-quality piece has never been auctioned on Catawiki. We were able to identify a cockroach, mosquitoes, and a strange central formation. This amber, dating back between 25 and 55 million years, is truly unique. A must-have for your fossil collection.
A collector's item of immense scientific value, a museum piece, with colors reminiscent of the finest opals.
Dominican amber is one of the most exclusive and expensive on the market, even more so than Baltic amber, Mexican amber, and Burmese amber. This amber, with these fossils inside, makes it unique.
The dimensions of this amber are 5x 4x 2cm; these measurements are approximate.
Insured and highly protected shipping.
