Huge Amber Slab With Insects. This huge 6.75 x 2.5 inch museum quality clear honey(amber) colored amber slab from Colombia contains several different insects including more than a dozen ants and a complete golden spider that looks like it was dipped in gold. as well as a couple of small twigs with unusual small bright red spheres that could be algae or some type of small berry. This large and hefty 202 gram slab has an esthetic shape like a huge arrow head. The absolute age of young Colombian amber or copal cannot be determined as amber itself cannot be tested and dated, but from the quintessential amber color and hardness of these slabs and nuggets, experts suggest their age to be at least 1-5 million years old and probably much older. By using a magnifying glass the detail is amazing. Comes with a 4 inch illusion stand for display.
