Product Description

A large, partly polished Amber specimen from the Dominican Republic with a host of organic inclusions from the ancient rainforest.

Held within the transparent, dark orange Amber is a giant worker Termite, which is visible by eye (image 6), as well as a wealth of features best viewed under magnification.
These include a number of Phorid flies, also called hump-back flies (image 7), the ghost-like decayed remains of a leaf (image 8) and some unusual and unidentified matter, which looks a bit like fungus (image 9).


Along with these, the specimen holds a range of other microscopic insect and botanical features, all waiting to be discovered under magnification and with a little patience.

weight:  81.79 carats / 16.36 grams
shape:   Part-polished Amber tube specimen
dimensions:   50.58 x 29.22 x 18.44 mm
treatment:  None
