AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A polished piece of Burmese amber in a rich honey-yellow colour, shaped into an elongated, freeform cabochon. Its main feature is a millipede inclusion, preserved in a curved position within the translucent amber. The elongated, segmented body and numerous fine legs are visible in the close-up photographs.

Smaller dark inclusions, natural flow lines and subtle internal features add texture to the specimen. The glossy polish allows light to pass through the amber and highlights the millipede from different angles. The exact species has not been identified.

Please refer to all photographs for a detailed view of the inclusion and the condition of the piece.
