01034 - Extremely Rare 0.87 Inch Baltic Amber With An Inclusion Of Fossil Insect (Diptera - Sciaridae Fly bodily associated with another insect)

Beautiful piece of Baltic amber with an inclusion of a fossil fly. This amber comes from the famous deposits that are under the Baltic sea, in the coasts of Poland. Its age dates from the Eocene, and apart from being widely used in jewelry, it usually has a large amount of fossil inclusions inside. Many species of insects have been described thanks to their preservation within this precious resin of fossil tree.

In this particular piece, we can observe a fly (Diptera - Sciaridae Family). You can see how that fly is bodily associated with another insect that can not be well identified. No doubt this is a piece worthy of study. The anatomical details of the insect are staggering. Under binocular loupes you can even see the eyes and wing details. Undoubtedly, these types of fossils are astounding.

There are large quantities of fake amber on the market, manufactured through synthetic resins, and introducing the insects inside. However, this is completely original and authentic. A time bubble that looks just like it was almost 50 Million years ago.
