Originating from the Hukawng Valley of northern Myanmar, it dates to the mid-Cretaceous period, approximately 99 million years ago, making it one of the oldest fossiliferous ambers commercially available. Its extraordinary age places inclusions within the era of the dinosaurs, offering a rare and direct window into Cretaceous forest ecosystems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Amber Inclusions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmber 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe recommend using a magnifying aid to fully appreciate the frozen detail of your inclusion.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecimen Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Natural Burmese Amber with Insect Inclusion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvenance: Hukawng Valley, Kachin State, Myanmar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeological Age: Cretaceous (~99 million years ago)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: ~10mm (refer to photograph for scale)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable For: Private collections, educational use, display, or as a distinguished gift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe image shows a representative example of the specimen you will receive.
