Collection of Ten Amber Nuggets With 45-50 Million Year Old Insects. Baltic amber has been highly valued by humans for thousands of years, even being found in caves with the bones of early humans. Baltic amber is fossilized resin from an extinct type of coniferous tree similar to cedar and birch trees. These ten, polished, clear-amber nuggets range in size from ¼"to 1¼" each, containing one or more insects including beetles, flies, a spider, cockroach, moth, ant, etc. These classic amber nuggets were found on the Samland Peninsula of Russia and are neatly displayed in a 6"x5" Ryker mount. Add $15 for domestic shipping.
Estimated Value $500 - 700.
