Straight to your door
Average Size: 25-35mm
Specimen: Amber with Insect Inclusion (Fly)
Age: Miocene (~15–20 million years ago)
Provenance: Dominican Republic
Dominican amber is notably rarer and more difficult to source than its Baltic counterpart. While Baltic amber is older and more abundantly recovered, Dominican amber — formed from the resin of the extinct leguminous tree Hymenaea protera — is prized for its exceptional clarity and the remarkable frequency and quality of its inclusions.
About Amber Inclusions
Amber inclusions are organisms entombed in ancient tree resin — not tree sap — millions of years ago. As the resin enveloped the specimen, it began a natural process of polymerization, hardening first into Copal and, over millions of years of burial and geological pressure, eventually transforming into true amber. The result is a window into a lost world: organisms preserved in extraordinary detail, suspended in time as if captured only yesterday.
We recommend using a magnifying aid to fully appreciate the frozen detail of your inclusion.
