Insect - Amber - 28 mm - 8 mm (No reserve price)

This exceptional natural amber specimen from Myanmar presents a striking prehistoric inclusion: a long-winged insect preserved with remarkable clarity inside rich golden fossil resin formed during the mid-Cretaceous period, approximately 100 million years ago. The transparency and warm coloration of the piece allow the ancient arthropod to be viewed from multiple angles, revealing delicate wing venation, segmented limbs, and surrounding plant debris that became trapped together in flowing resin before hardening over millions of years. Collectors of fossil insects, paleontological curiosities, and natural history objects will immediately recognize the scientific and aesthetic appeal of a well-defined Burmese amber inclusion, especially from a region known for producing some of the world’s most important Cretaceous fossils. The specimen evokes the atmosphere of deep time that fuels popular fascination with prehistoric life in modern culture, including references such as Jurassic Park, and stands as a genuine geological artifact rather than a synthetic reproduction. The fine preservation of the wings and body structures provides potential research value for entomology enthusiasts studying ancient ecosystems, while the vibrant coloration enhances its desirability as a display piece. Amber of this age and origin is increasingly sought after by collectors for its rarity and for the unique window it offers into vanished tropical environments once inhabited by insects, arachnids, and diverse plant species. The smooth polished surface allows clear visual access to the inclusion, while internal flow lines and natural micro-bubbles add authenticity and visual texture typical of unaltered fossil resin. This is a highly appealing specimen for anyone building a collection of Burmese amber, Cretaceous fossils, insect inclusions, or natural history treasures with strong visual impact. The piece captures the dramatic narrative of life preserved in time, making it ideal for collectors who appreciate scientifically significant fossils, decorative geological specimens, and museum-quality natural artifacts.
