AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

### Material & Inclusions

Authentic Baltic amber with a bright honey-golden tone, polished to exceptional clarity to reveal a beautifully preserved **PARASITIC WASP**, most likely belonging to the Braconidae family or a closely related parasitoid wasp group. The insect is displayed in remarkable detail, featuring long thread-like antennae, delicate transparent wings with visible venation, a distinctly narrow waist, slender segmented legs, and a well-defined segmented abdomen. Its natural three-dimensional preservation makes it an eye-catching centerpiece within the amber.

A tiny mite-like arthropod is preserved above the wasp, creating an attractive multi-inclusion specimen. Fine natural bubbles and minute organic particles enhance the depth of the piece while confirming its authentic fossil origin.

### Craftsmanship & Presentation

Expertly shaped into a smooth, elegant freeform teardrop with a glossy, highly polished finish that maximizes the amber's natural transparency. The pendant is securely fitted with a 925 sterling silver bail, offering durability and a timeless appearance while keeping the focus on the remarkable prehistoric inclusions. An outstanding choice for fossil collectors, natural history enthusiasts, or anyone seeking truly unique jewelry.

### UV Testing & Fluorescence

Displays the characteristic blue-green fluorescence under ultraviolet light, confirming genuine Baltic amber. The specimen is completely natural and untreated, with no dyes, fillers, or synthetic enhancements.

### Pendant Dimensions

Approximately 22 × 10 × 6.8 mm (including bail)

### Geological Origin

Age: approximately 35–50 million years

Epoch: Eocene
