Large Vine, Ant, Comb Clawed Beetle in Dominican Amber Fossil Large 9.3 grams

Description: Please see my feedback. I have been selling amber fossils for over 10 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 beautiful, large, 9.3 gram, fully polished specimen of all-natural authentic Dominican amber from the mines in the Dominican Republic contains a very rare, large plant vine and two smaller vines along with a worker ant and a rare comb-clawed beetle from the Family Alleculidae with interesting feet, all from an ancient tropical forest. Geological studies have dated Dominican amber to be between 17 and 20 million years old! The piece itself weighs 9.3 grams and has approximate dimensions of 4.6 cm length, 2.3 cm width, and 1 cm height. NOTE: 2.5 cm is approximately 1 inch. Please mouse over or click on images to see a larger view. I do combine items to save on shipping costs. Dominican fossil amber is known for the clarity of its inclusions including such things as insects, arachnids, and botanicals. All amber I offer is authentic, non-treated material. Many of these specimens have been hand-sanded and polished by me. They have not been reconstituted nor are they plastic. This amber is much more rare than the ever prevalent Baltic amber which originates from several countries and across Europe. Dominican amber comes from one island source: the Dominican Republic which shares the island with Haiti and the supply is much smaller than that of Baltic amber which has been mined for centuries and now is mass mined as opposed to Dominican material which has been mined for only decades with picks and hammers by candlelight. I will combine items for up to 7 days to save on shipping costs. 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. Please note that the majority of Dominican amber is NOT fossiliferous as this piece. Fossiliferous pieces have more value. 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. 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.
