Amber gems with insect inclusions are truly windows to the past. The fossilised remains contained in amber show complete creatures of millions of years ago, not calcified bones or impressions in sandstone, and as such have added greatly to our knowledge of prehistoric times. Some amber (e.g. Burmite) is over 120 million years old, and dates from the time of the dinosaurs.

TO EXPLORE!
This
Dominican rough amber is 25 million years old and contains insects and
botanical inclusions. At $2.50 per gram this is a great buy for the
collector or the curious. You will find insects, some of whom are
extinct, trapped in these gems. This is a great opportunity to shape
and polish these nuggets to reveal their secrets and, perhaps, create
that piece of unique jewellery or begin a fascinating collection
celebrating this most magic of gems.
