Premium Group of Four Amber Nuggets, This collection of four premium quality clear young amber nuggets from Colombia contains large and dramatic insects in very clear amber nuggets. 1. A big mosquito with a 1 inch wing span in a large 2.75 x 2 inch nugget with several flies and midges. 2. A .8 inch long winged termite plus a fly and other wings in a 1.5 x 1 inch nugget. 3. Two .4 inch long stingless bees in a thick 1.25X1 inch amber nugget. 4. A .5 inch cockroach in a 1.75 x .75 inch amber nugget. The absolute age of young Colombian amber or copal cannot be determined as amber itself cannot be tested and dated, but from the color and hardness of these nuggets, experts suggest their age to be at least 1-5 million years old or older. Each special nugget has a photo of the main insect included and the collection is housed in a 12 x 8 inch Riker mount.
