Exceptional FUNGUS GNAT in BALTIC AMBER Pendant – Clear Golden Fossil Inclusion - Amber (No Reserve Price)

### Material & Inclusions Authentic Baltic amber with a transparent golden hue, preserving a beautifully detailed FUNGUS GNAT (Mycetophilidae). The insect is exceptionally well-preserved, displaying long slender legs, extended antennae, and translucent wings with fine venation visible under magnification. Its body structure and coloration remain distinct, offering a vivid example of prehistoric insect life. Small air bubbles and fine organic debris are naturally embedded within the amber, confirming its genuine origin and enhancing the piece’s depth and texture. ### Craftsmanship & Presentation Expertly shaped into a sleek oval pendant, the amber has been finely polished on both sides to achieve optimal clarity and a high-gloss finish. The simple metal bail complements the form without detracting from the focal point — the fossil inclusion itself. The symmetry and polish highlight the insect beautifully, creating an elegant fusion of natural history and wearable art. ### UV Testing & Fluorescence When exposed to ultraviolet light, the pendant emits the characteristic blue-green fluorescence typical of authentic Baltic amber. The piece is completely natural and untreated — free from dyes, fillers, or synthetic materials. ### Pendant Dimensions Amber piece (including bail): approximately 19.5 x 8.4 x 6.9 mm ### Geological Origin Age: approximately 35–50 million years Epoch: Eocene Region: Baltic Sea area — renowned worldwide for amber containing exquisitely preserved fossil inclusions ### Condition & Authenticity A genuine one-of-a-kind specimen featuring a complete FUNGUS GNAT inclusion. The amber is free from cracks, restorations, or artificial modifications. This pendant captures a delicate moment from ancient forest life, preserved in flawless natural resin for millions of years. ### Shipping & Packaging * Ships securely worldwide with tracking and protective eco-friendly packaging * Estimated international delivery: 5–7 business days
