5" Piece Of Indonesian Amber - 23 Million Years Old
This is a large, 5" wide piece of Miocene aged amber collected from West Kalimantan, Indonesia. This piece broke off of a larger polished chunk, so only one face of it is polished.
Under both short and long-wave UV, the amber fluoresces a vibrant blue-purple color, as well as reveals the waves/layers that formed during the deposition of the amber.
