AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
### Material & Inclusions
Authentic Baltic amber with a warm golden tone, featuring a beautifully preserved PARASITIC WASP. The insect displays classic hymenopteran characteristics, including long segmented antennae, a narrow waist, prominent thorax, and transparent wings with clear venation. Legs, abdomen, and wing structure are all distinctly visible. Surrounding the wasp are natural micro-debris, fine air bubbles, and internal flow patterns that enhance the amber’s depth and confirm its natural origin.
### Craftsmanship & Presentation
Shaped into an elegant, shield-like teardrop with smooth, even polishing across all surfaces. The pendant is fitted with a 925 sterling silver bail that provides strength while maintaining a clean, minimal design. The clarity and warm coloration of the amber allow the wasp inclusion to be viewed beautifully from both sides, making this piece ideal for fossil collectors and admirers of ancient natural art.
### UV Testing & Fluorescence
Shows the typical blue-green fluorescence under ultraviolet light, consistent with genuine Baltic amber. No dyes, fillers, heat treatments, or enhancements have been applied.
### Pendant Dimensions
Amber size: approx. 26 x 19.3 x 7.3 mm
(Measurements refer to amber only, not including the bail.)
### Geological Origin
Age: approximately 35–50 million years
