COLOMBIAN COPAL FOR SALE

Amber is fossilized tree resin that frequently contains inclusions such as plant matter, fungi, and insects. Copal is younger resin that has not fully fossilized, but may still be tens of thousands to several million years old. The exact line between copal and amber is a little bit blurry.

As far as we are aware, all of the material coming from Colombia is copal and there are no known true amber deposits. Estimates for the age of this copal range from tens of thousands to a few million years old. It frequently contains insect and plant inclusions.
