1.4" Polished Chiapas Amber With Inclusions (7 g) - Mexico

Polished Chiapas Amber With Inclusions ( g) - Mexico #102498

This is a nicely polished piece of amber, collected from Chiapas, Mexico. It is 1.4" wide, bares a wonderful golden-yellow color and has beautiful clarity . This amber specimen is completely unaltered, and contains inclusions that can best be viewed under microscope. It's possible that some of these inclusions are bugs, however due to their size, conclusive identification of these inclusions is near impossible without 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.
