AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Ambra Colombia Fluorescent UV - 2 Animal and Plant Inclusions - 8.21g

Description:
Exceptional lot of natural amber from Colombia, consisting of 4 pieces with multiple fossilized inclusions of animal and plant origin, and rare blue fluorescence under UV light.
Technical specifications
Total weight: 8.21 grams
Number of pieces: 4
Origin: Colombia (region of Santander)
Estimated age: Miocene (14-20 million years ago)
Sizes: Various (see photo)
Distinguishing features:
Multiple fossilized inclusions.
Animal inclusions: Diptera (flies/midges) and other insects perfectly preserved.
Vegetal inclusions: fragments of botanical material, organic debris.
From a preliminary visual inspection, the presence of two well-defined animal inclusions is confirmed in two separate pieces of the batch.
UV fluorescence: All pieces show intense blue fluorescence under ultraviolet light — a rare and sought-after characteristic in Colombian amber.
Natural colors: spectrum ranging from golden yellow to olive green to amber orange.
Transparency: From good to excellent, it allows detailed observation of all inclusions.
Condition: Excellent, polished surface.
Scientific and collecting interest

Colombian amber with fluorescence is significantly rarer than common amber. Inclusions of both animal and plant origin provide a comprehensive snapshot of the Miocene South American rainforest ecosystem, representing a valuable paleontological record.
Animal inclusions document entrapment events in ancient resin, offering scientists and collectors a direct window into the fauna of millions of years ago.
The combination of:
Intense blue UV fluorescence
Multiple inclusions of animals and plants
At least two clearly visible animal inclusions in separate pieces.
Good transparency
Natural variegated colors.
Make this lot exceptionally interesting for both experienced collectors and enthusiasts of paleontology and natural history.
Conditions:
Sold without gemological certification.
Origin: Colombia
No artificial treatment or alteration.
100% natural amber
Unaltered natural inclusions

What you will receive:
✓ 4 pieces of amber with animal and plant inclusions (total weight 8.21 grams)
At least 2 pieces with clearly visible animal inclusions.
Secure and protective packaging.
Documentary photographs included in the auction.
Important notes:
This lot is sold WITHOUT professional gemological certification. The authenticity is guaranteed by the seller based on the provenance and the visual characteristics documented in the photographs.
For precise scientific classification of species, a specialist analysis by an entomologist or paleontologist is recommended.
Colors may vary slightly depending on the lighting. The photos were taken with natural, artificial, and UV light to showcase all the features.
The inclusions are visible with a magnifying glass, and a microscope will allow you to appreciate all its morphological details.
As with all natural materials, small natural imperfections (superficial microcracks, air bubbles) may be present, which are part of the piece's authenticity and geological history.
Shipping:
Tracked and insured shipment.
Professional packaging with shock protection
Shipping within 3 business days of payment.
