Please see my feedback. I have been sellingamber fossils for over 10 years on eBay and do not sell fake amber onlygenuine material from now extinct plant sources not glass or plasticembedded with present day inclusions. This piece is genuine amberformed over millions of years of polymerization. Burmite (Burmese) amber is difficult to acquire and has been dated to be Cretaceous in age (around 100 million years old) and would have been sticky resin during the time of ...the dinosaurs and is being mined in the Hukawng Valley in Myanmar(Burma).NOTE: I have been selling Burmite (Burmese) amber for years oneBay. Iam a reputable Burmite amber seller.This is a fully polished piece of Burmite (Burmese) amber that contains a large, partial cricket from the Cretaceous Period. You can see the cricket's head and part of its body (most legs are missing).Check out its large, faceted eyes!This insect may have sat on a dinosaur as it would have been trapped from the time of the dinosaurs including T-Rex and Triceratops.Please mouse over or click on images to see a larger view.Pleasesee my other resin fossils including Dominican amber with inclusions, largeColombian copal with inclusions, and very rare Indonesian ambers (some oflovely blue and green color).The piece itself weighs 1.1 grams with dimensions of 1.6 cm length by 1.3 cm width and 0.6 cm height. NOTE: 2.54 cm is 1 inch.I do combine items for up to 7 days to save on shipping costs.

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."

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.
