Rare Eocene Amber Pendant – Perfectly Preserved PARASITIC WASP – Baltic Fossil Jewelry - Amber (No Reserve Price)

### Material & Inclusions Authentic 45-million-year-old Baltic amber with a beautifully preserved *PARASITIC WASP (Ichneumonidae)*. This striking specimen reveals exquisite anatomical details — from the slender segmented body and narrow waist to the transparent, veined wings resting in perfect clarity. Its long, curved antennae and visible ovipositor indicate a female wasp, offering remarkable scientific and aesthetic value. Fine air bubbles and organic debris scattered within the resin further confirm natural origin and age. ### Craftsmanship & Presentation Expertly shaped into a smooth, asymmetrical pendant and polished to a flawless, high-gloss finish that highlights the insect inclusion from all sides. The piece is fitted with a minimalist 925 sterling silver bail that complements the amber’s golden tone without distraction. Its natural contours and warm luster make this pendant an elegant fusion of prehistoric nature and refined craftsmanship. Pendant dimensions (including bail): approx. 24 × 10 × 7.1 mm ### UV Testing & Fluorescence Exhibits the characteristic blue-green fluorescence under ultraviolet light, confirming genuine Baltic amber. Completely natural and untreated — no dyes, fillers, or synthetic additions. ### Geological Origin Age: approximately 45 million years Epoch: Eocene Region: Baltic Sea area — renowned globally for amber with exceptional fossil inclusions ### Condition & Authenticity This pendant contains a genuine *PARASITIC WASP* inclusion in natural Baltic amber, perfectly preserved and entirely free from artificial restoration or resin fillings. A rare and scientifically fascinating specimen transformed into timeless jewelry. ### Shipping & Packaging * Ships securely worldwide with tracking and eco-friendly packaging * Estimated international delivery: 5–7 business days
