Description: Dominican amber is the source of amber for which the movie series Jurassic Park (World)was based upon with the supposed mosquito providing fragmented dinosaur DNA.This is a parcel of five (5) fully polished amber fossil gemstones from the amber mines in the Dominican Republic that contain a spider and others various insect inclusions. The fossils include a piece with a spider, a second piece contains a beetle with a fly, a third piece has a biting midge, a fourth with a fungus gnat, and a fifth with a wasp, all from an ancient tropical forest.The pieces weigh a total of 4.9 and have approximate dimensions between 1 and 2.2 cm each (2.5 cm is approximately 1 inch). These pieces were sanded and polished from rough originating from the Dominican Republic.Dominican fossil amber is known for the clarity of its inclusions including such things as insects, arachnids, and botanicals. This is authentic, untreated amber from the Dominican Republic. Please move mouse over or click on images to view the insects better. Do please consider the VERY RARE Indonesian amber pieces along with the large, genuine Colombian copal specimens with a variety of insect and botanical inclusions I am currently offering at low starting bids or Buy It Now prices. I also have rare Indonesian blue amber for sale. International Buyers: I ship using First Class Mail International and will combine items for up to 7 days. A SPECIAL NOTE CONCERNING INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please understand that import duties, taxes and charges are NOT included in the selling price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check your country's customs office to determine what these additional charges may be prior to bidding/buying. I cannot guarantee delivery of your item in a set amount of time. Different country's customs offices take longer to process items than others do. Lastly, I do not mark merchandise values below their true value or mark items as "gifts." U.S. and International government regulations prohibit such behavior. Honesty is the best option. I only sell genuine, all-natural, non-heat treated, reconstituted, or color enhanced amber. Please note that the majority of Dominican amber is NOT fossiliferous as are these pieces. Fossiliferous pieces have more value. These pieces could be used as a specimen or in a piece of jewelry. Thank you for your consideration. I usually ship within a 24 hour period. Please note that the saltwater test to identify real from fake amber is not reliable. The saltwater test claims that real amber will float in saltwater while fake amber will sink. However, many amber sources or even specimens will not float in saltwater as their botanical (plant) composition as well as fossil inclusions are such that they are more dense than saltwater and so sink. I do not sell fake amber. My feedback should help demonstrate this.
