Hello, dear friend and customer! I am burmite-miner and this is our new shop,I have retrieved my old ID，this is the main account for auction in the future,you can save my shop.(2026.1.10)

Ebay headquarters has help us opened this new account,this is our village’s newest master account:insectamber

And they also give us three sub-accounts：burmite_amber    burmite_miner  burmite-miner.(2026.1.4)

Because of selling limits,the 2 accounts(burmite-miner.ma ,burmiteminer )not use again,beg your understanding：）（2026.1.4）

I am a Burmese Amber Miner. I work mining raw amber in the mines of Burma (Myanmar). Mining raw amber is dangerous hard work requiring many man hours to extract the oldest amber on earth. All of our 99 million years old amber is 100% authentic with no alterations. We list all our amber on Ebay auction to provide the best possible prices of fossilized amber." 

As a miner making artificial amber is more difficult than selling untreated ones.

Most of the profit for us is from the jewelry Burmite amber, our buyers are mainly from China and Thailand. Not many people collect insect amber. We are also not too knowledgible about the inclusions in the amber. We use books for the names of the Burmite amber inclusions (if somebody wants a specific item, send me a message I will buy it in China for you.). Except for some very rare inclusions, most will be sold for a very low price. Unlike jewelry Burmite amber, which is sold in an open market very quickly; inclusion Burmite amber sells slowly. Most of them won’t have fixed prices and will be sold wholesale. If we sell them the total price is higher than the cost to mine them. All are ok, and of the highest quality.

Q: Why do I refuse to keep and recommend some ambers to earn more money, or refuse some buyers who can give me large orders?

A: Honestly speaking, most amber miners hate bondage. We do not like to work in factories, we see something insincere in border trade digging ambers in deep mountains make us feel free and happy, but digging ambers gives us a very low profit, we are not professional businessmen, if something makes us nervous, we will refuse to do it, just bid and keep free.

Q: When I use a heat test, the smell isn’t pine resin?

A: This is because most insect amber on the market is Baltic which are pine resin. Burmite amber is the resin from Araucaria (a tree), the smell is more like kerosene. The amber is also older than the Baltic amber so it is harder, if it isn’t cracked don’t be afraid of it falling to the ground. It isn’t easy to fracture.

If you have any questions, the best place to ask is the specialized accreditation bodies, I will pay the test fee.

Q: If you are new to Burmite amber, what tools should you use?

A: Magnifier,

Or a macro lens for cell phone (almost all of my photo for the shop are taken by cell phone this way).

Or electron microscope.

Or SLR camera.

And good lighting.

Q. Where do I dig for the Burmite? A: Hkamti, Sagaing Division and Tanai, Kachin State, Myanmar.

Q: What is the difference between the 2 places Burmite ambers?  A: In total the ambers from Hkamti 's color are lighter and more easy to crack when cut and polishing and have more young group, for example: the flies found are very like the fly in your home, and the raw stone always has a thick rock matrix. And the insects in Hkamti amber are less than Tanai ambers. The Tanai amber is not easy to crack. If a ball made of Tanai ambers is dropped on the floor it will not crack or cause any damage. The age of the two places where I find the amber has the same age. The age is the same because a research expert advised me that the age is the same because of the regional environment.

Q: Is the oil you send them with safe?

A: The oil is natural olive oil (sometimes, if the olive oil is use out, I will use the safe baby oil), it protects the amber from oxidation. It is very safe, I would be happy to handle them all day.

Q: Do you have any butterflies or bees?

A: You will not find butterflies and bees in Burmite, the expert says they did not appear until after the Cretaceous, so the insect in Burmite that looks like a butterfly is Neuroptera lacewings or plant hopper; the insect like a bee is a wasp.

Q:If you have any other shop in ebay or other website?

A:NO,I only have one shop in ebay and I don't know why someone wants to fake me ╮(╯▽╰)╭（2022.2.17）

Q: How long will it take for you to send the order? A: In 30 days usually, because we go to China to send items at the post office more than 15 days usually.(2019.8.23)

Q:Why the write"Plastic craft" instead of "amber" in the package?A:Because some shipping method have limitation of ambers,and many people think ambers are very expensive items,the items will have more risk of theft,so write“Plastic craft” in the package are more safer.(2020.5.10)

Q. Why aren’t your ambers finely polished?

A:I sell the ambers as rough stones that are polished with many other pieces in a machine. Which I sell to traders and they polish them carefully and sell for a high price. If you want to the ambers be more beautiful, you can use chamois towel or toothpaste to polish them, the polishing powder for ambers are the best.

Q: Do you have any butterflies or bees? (2019.1.12)

A: You will not find butterflies and bees in burmite, the expert says they did not appear until after the Cretaceous, so the insect in burmite that looks like a butterfly is Neuroptera lacewings or plant hopper; the insect like a bee is a wasp.

Q:The return policy.

A: If you do not like the burmite, send it back and we will refund you. You will have to pay for the postage and shipping cost. So you had better look carefully when you buy.

Q:When is the rainy season?
