### Material & Inclusions Authentic Baltic amber, approximately 40–50 million years old, polished to showcase two remarkable insect inclusions. The larger specimen is a LONG-LEGGED FLY, displaying its slender elongated legs, large rounded eyes, and fine veined wings with striking clarity. Nearby, a smaller MOSQUITO is also preserved, identifiable by its narrow body and distinct proboscis. Together, they form a rare dual inclusion, offering a vivid glimpse into prehistoric insect diversity of the Eocene period. Natural flow lines and subtle organic specks enhance the depth and authenticity of the piece. ### Craftsmanship & Presentation Shaped into a smooth oval-drop with golden transparency and slight cognac edging, the amber has been polished on all sides for maximum visibility. A 925 sterling silver bail securely mounts the pendant, providing durability while maintaining an elegant and minimalist design. The dual inclusions are centrally positioned, making this pendant visually striking for fossil collectors and amber enthusiasts alike. ### UV Testing & Fluorescence Exhibits the typical blue-green fluorescence of genuine Baltic amber under UV light. The pendant is natural and untreated, with no dyes, fillers, or synthetic enhancements. ### Pendant Dimensions Approximately [17.6 x 9.9 x 5.1 mm] (including bail) ### Geological Origin Age: approximately 40–50 million years Epoch: Eocene Region: Baltic Sea area — world-renowned for exceptional amber preservation ### Condition & Authenticity This is a one-of-a-kind specimen of natural Baltic amber containing a LONG-LEGGED FLY and a MOSQUITO.
