This is a 1.4" piece of polished amber from Chiapas, Mexico. This amber specimen is completely unaltered. It contains two Beetles (Coleoptera) and two Spiders (Araneae). These inclusions are best viewed under a microscope.
Amber is fossilized tree resin that sometimes contains inclusions such as plant matter, fungi, and insects. This amber comes from mines in Chiapas, Mexico, and was formed during the Early/Middle Miocene (15-23 million years ago). The amber was produced by either the two extinct leguminous trees Hymenaea mexicana or Hymenaea allendis, both of which were initially described from fossil flowers included in Mexican amber.
