並外れた透明な琥珀のペンダント — 微小節足動物を含む寄生蜂の詳細な含有 - 琥珀 (No reserve price)

### Material & Inclusions Authentic natural amber with a rich honey-golden tone and excellent transparency, showcasing a beautifully preserved PARASITIC WASP inclusion. The insect displays remarkable anatomical detail, including long segmented antennae, large dark compound eyes, slender segmented legs, a distinct narrow waist, a clearly defined thorax, and a dark segmented abdomen. Its elongated membranous wings are especially striking, with visible wing venation extending toward the wing tips. Several much smaller insect or arthropod inclusions are also visible throughout the amber, creating a rare multi-inclusion composition. Their fine structures are visible but not sufficiently clear for reliable taxonomic identification. Numerous tiny natural particles and minute bubbles add further depth to the transparent amber. ### Craftsmanship & Presentation Shaped into a smooth, rounded pendant with a highly polished surface that allows light to pass deeply through the amber and illuminate the fossil inclusion from different angles. The pendant is fitted with a polished 925 sterling silver bail, providing a refined setting while keeping the focus on the ancient inclusions. The combination of exceptionally clear golden amber, the prominently preserved PARASITIC WASP, and multiple smaller inclusions gives this piece a distinctive natural-history character, making it particularly appealing to amber collectors, fossil enthusiasts, and collectors of prehistoric insect inclusions. ### UV Testing & Fluorescence Under ultraviolet illumination, the amber displays a strong blue-green to cyan fluorescence, with brighter yellow-green fluorescence visible around portions of the outer amber. This fluorescence is characteristic of naturally fluorescent amber, although UV response alone should not be considered definitive proof of geological origin. ### Pendant Dimensions Approximately 17.4 × 11.3 × 9 mm, including the silver bail. ### Geological Origin Age: approximately 35–50 million years Epoch: Eocene Region: Baltic Sea area — a world-renowned source of fossiliferous amber with exceptional insect preservation ### Condition & Authenticity A one-of-a-kind natural amber pendant featuring a remarkably detailed PARASITIC WASP together with several smaller insect or arthropod inclusions. The transparent amber provides excellent visibility of the primary insect's wings, antennae, legs, thorax, waist, and segmented abdomen. Natural internal particles and small bubbles further contribute to its authentic fossil character. ### Shipping & Packaging * Ships securely worldwide with tracking and protective, eco-friendly packaging * Estimated delivery: 5–8 business days internationally
