Burmite (Burmese) amber 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).
This is a fully polished piece of Burmite (Burmese) amber that contains a scary looking, Cretaceous spider with a beetle. Perhaps the spider was hunting the beetle when they both got caught?
These organisms are from the Cretaceous Period when dinosaurs including T-Rex and Triceratops still walked!
The piece itself weighs 0.8 grams with approximate dimensions of 2 cm length by 1.2 cm width and 0.4 cm height. NOTE: 2.54 cm is 1 inch.

Please see my other resin fossils including Dominican amber with inclusions, large Colombian copal with inclusions, and rare Indonesian ambers (some of lovely blue and green color).
Please see my feedback. I have been selling amber fossils for over 15 years on eBay and do not sell fake amber only genuine material from now extinct plant sources not glass or plastic embedded with present day inclusions. This piece is genuine amber formed over millions of years of polymerization.
International Buyers: Please note that I ship using First Class Mail International.
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. This piece could be used as a specimen or in a piece of jewelry. Thank you for your consideration. This amber will ship worldwide. I will combine items to save on shipping for up to a 7 day period and 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.
