Pleasesee my response. I have sold fossil amber for over10 years on and sellonly authentic fossil amber, not fake or plastic.
This is a large, 7.2 gram, fully polished piece of all-natural authentic Dominican amber from the mines in the Dominican Republic that containsan exquisitely preserved, curled leaf probably from the now extinctHymenaea protera tree (The plant responsible for producing the resin that became Dominican amber over millions of years.) with a golden sheen when light hits it just right. You can clearly seen the veination in this leaf. It is incredibly well preserved. There is also a Dolichopodid fly.
It is a beautiful sight of nature to behold!
Geological studies have dated Dominican amber to be between 17 and 20 million years old.

Dominican fossil amber is known for the clarity of its inclusions including such things as insects, arachnids,and botanicals.
All amber I offer is authentic, non-treated material. Many of these specimens have been hand-sanded and polished by me. They have not been reconstituted nor are they plastic.
This amber is much more rare than the ever prevalent Baltic amber which originates from several countries and across Europe.
Dominican amber comes from one island source: the Dominican Republic which shares the island with Haitiand the supply is much smaller than that of Baltic amber which has been mined for centuries and now is mass mined as opposed to Dominican material which has been mined for only decades with picks and hammers by candlelight.
The piece itself weighs7.2 gramsand has approximate dimensions of4.5 cm length,1.5 cm width, and1.1 cm height. NOTE: 2.5 cm is approximately 1 inch. I hand-sand and fully polish the majority of amber pieces I offer, this piece from rough originating from theDominican Republic.
I will combine items for up to 7 days to save on shipping costs.
International Buyers: Please note that I ship using First Class Mail International; however, I will also ship using Priority Mail International Small Flat Rate Box. This method is more expensive though.
A SPECIAL NOTE CONCERNING INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please understand that import duties, taxes and charges are NOT included in the selling price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer\'s responsibility.
Please check your country\'s customs office to determine what these additional charges may be prior to offerding/buying.
I cannot guarantee delivery of your item in a set amount of time. Different country\'s customs offices take longer to process items than others do.
Lastly, I do not mark merchandise values below their truevalue or mark items as \"gifts.\" U.S. and International government regulations prohibit such behavior. Honesty is the best option.
I only sell genuine, all-natural, non-heat treated, reconstituted,or color enhanced amber.Please note that the majority of Dominican amber is NOT fossiliferous as this piece. Fossiliferous pieces have more value. This piece could be used as a specimen or in a piece of jewelry. Thank you for your consideration. This amber will ship worldwide at $14.00 U.S. I will combine items to save onshipping for up to a7 day period and usually ship within a 24 hour period. PAYMENT BY PAYPAL ONLY PLEASE.
Important Notice to Buyers in the States of WA, LA, VT, RI, and OK:I regret that due to recent Supreme Court decision overturning Quill and changing Sales Tax collection guidelines I will no longer be able to do business with you. Should you accidentally offer or purchase an item from me, I will cancel the transaction and you should receive refund. This is because I cannot meet the guidelines of these states to collect and report sales tax. This list may change as other states make decisions. I hope the platform will be able to collect for small sellers in the future so this will not be necessary.
