AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This is a square-cut specimen of golden amber; the amber body is transparent and displays a warm golden-yellow hue, encapsulating a **psocid** (barklouse). The insect is complete and clearly visible, with its limbs and wing venation perfectly preserved and rich in detail. The amber also contains minor plant inclusions and natural gas bubbles—natural traces left behind during the resin's formation.
