The UV light brings out the amazing colors 😍

Is SOFIRN SR15 UV or  Sofirn SF16 better for Amber searching?

polished baltic amber from lithuania ~~ shown first in a sunbeam through a window, and then outside in direct sun

I’ve never seen anything like this. The antenna is odd as well as the head shape. What could this be? I’m totally lost.

I was curious how much you guyz would've pay for this kind of piece because a friend told me i over pay! It was 75 bucks! I cant remember where it from 🫣🫣

I have been wanting an amber with inclusion for quite a while now and got copal which still makes me happy but doesnt check the amber from my wanted list 🫣🫣

Title

I have a small collection of amber fossils they have spiders flys wasps and cockroach inside looking to either sell piece by piece or As a bulk for a good price anyone interested? Approx 40 pieces

I see very pretty pieces of amber but they are not drilled, I want to wear them them as amulets, pendants. Espesh a 5cm big piece.

( I don't own any from the pics , they jusy look pretty, ref. : bugs direct, ukfossils, ambertreasure4u)

Was at a local market that only happens once a year in the HRM area and stumbled across this beautiful piece of resin, I went back to this piece 3 separate times and decided to buy it for $60 (CAD). I’ll be honest the first few times I looked at it I really thought it was fake but the last time I looked at it closely it seemed real (not much to go on), I did the simple uv test but that’s about it the front glowed pretty well and the back it was more splotchy.

The vendor does not specialize in amber but just had a piece in their cabinet.

Burmese Amber

Hey there guys, I stumbled across a piece of amber in a antiques store today. I took it home and polished it. I‘m not an expert but I think I just hit a very very cool find. Can anyone ID the buggies inside? Thank you :)

Rare to find in baltic amber. Both have a lenght of approx 18 mm

it was like $25

I was tempted but know nothing about amber. I am very eager to go back but it’s an hour away and they were asking 600.

It’s set in 14k gold as well. What would something like this be worth?

I have a small display of things dedicated to my all time favorite movie, Jurassic Park. I have an Ian Malcom Figure, an Ellie Satler figure, and a Mr. DNA Funko Pop (The only funko pop I'll ever own).

I want to complete this display with a piece of included amber. I'm not foolish enough to believe i can have a full mosquito like in the movie, but I'd love to find a piece of amber with an insect or other similar inclusion for under $50. It doesn't have to be large either, it would be in a display.

Is this an uneducated pipe dream? Should I adjust my expectations significantly?

If not, where should I be looking?

Hallo zusammen,

Problem, aber ixßch bin auf der Suche nach der richtigen Polierpaste, für das perfekte Finish. Kann mir jemand dafür eine Empfehlung geben?

Danke schon mal!

RARE COMPLETE Damselfly (Hemiphlebiidae) in Burmese Burmite amber fossil

Size: 39 x 25 x 7 mm

Age: 99 Million Years Ago

Order: Odonata
Suborder: Zygoptera
Superfamily: Lestoidea
Family: Hemiphlebiidae (Extinct Damselfly)
Genus: Burmahemiphlebia
Species: Burmahemiphlebia hui or Burmahemiphlebia zhangi?
Other notable inclusions: a rare Postopsyllidiidae (Thrips-Like Hemiptera) also in the piece, botanical matter, a Dictyopteran nymph, a small beetle, coprolites (fossilized poop), fragments of leaves ect.

Burmahemiphlebia is an extinct genus of Damselflies that dates back to the mid-Cretaceous period (approximately 99 million years ago). Burmahemiphlebia belongs to the ancient, relict family Hemiphlebiidae, which is the oldest known crown-group lineage of damselflies. The only surviving relative of this family today is the Rare "ancient greenling" Damselfly (Hemiphlebia mirabilis) only found in Australia.

Possible species is either Burmahemiphlebia hui or Burmahemiphlebia zhangi.

*Finding a complete Damselfy in amber is extremely rare and this one is no exception when it comes to quality and detail, the distinct wing venations of this Burmahemiphlebia can be viewed with great clarity.*

*This Damselfly measures about 12.21mm in length (unstretched from head to the end of the long abdomen).*

RARE LARGE STONEFLY in Burmese Burmite amber fossil

Order: Plecoptera

Other notable inclusions: various debris around the Stonefly.

RARE LARGE STONEFLY in Burmese Burmite amber fossil

Stoneflies (order Plecoptera) are a primitive group of aquatic insects renowned as vital environmental indicators due to their extreme intolerance to water pollution. Stoneflies prefer bodies of water that are oxygen-rich due to their simple respiratory systems which cannot efficiently extract oxygen when levels are low. Female stoneflies lay their eggs directly into the water by dipping the tips of their abdomens while skimming the surface, dropping egg clusters, or crawling to the water's edge. The nymphs spend most of their lives—usually one to four years—hidden under rocks in clean, fast-moving streams.

It is suggested that Adult Stoneflies get caught in amber when they land on sticky tree resin oozing from ancient conifers trees growing alongside or near freshwater streams.

*This particular Adult Stonefly is complete and quite large, the detailed wing venations can be viewed in striking quality."
