This is a fully polished piece of Burmite (Burmese) amber that contains a well-preserved, Cretaceous true bug (Order Hemiptera) with a piercing proboscis and bulging eyes and measures 4 mm in length. The true bug may have spread disease. With the bug is a small beetle.
This piece would look great in a piece of jewelry like a ring.
These insects are from the Cretaceous Periodwhen dinosaurs including T-Rex and Triceratops still walked!
The piece itself weighs1.3 grams with approximate dimensions of 1.9 cmlength by1.3 cm width and0.6 cm height. NOTE: 2.54 cm is 1 inch.

Lastly, I do not mark merchandise values below their true value or mark items as "gifts." U.S. and International government regulations prohibit such behavior. Honesty is the best option.

This amber will ship worldwide. I will combine items to save on shipping for up to a 7 day period and usually ship within a 24 hour period.
Please note that the saltwater test to identify real from fake amber is not reliable. The saltwater test claims that real amber will float in saltwater while fake amber will sink.
However, many amber sources or even specimens will not float in saltwater as their botanical (plant) composition as well as fossil inclusions are such that they are more dense than saltwater and so sink. I do not sell fake amber. My response should help demonstrate this.
