Natural Pleistocene Copal Amber Specimen with Insects - Madagascar 8.50 grams

Description: Natural Pleistocene Copal Amber Specimen with Insects This piece of natural copal amber was mined in Madagascar. It has been partially polished by hand on some surfaces to better show the insect inclusions. This copal amber specimen formed from tree resin which hardened over time between 1000 and 10,000 years ago. It is transparent and has light golden-yellow color. This genuine copal amber specimen has excellent transparency for viewing the insects within it. There are several tiny, winged insects still trapped inside this specimen.Copal can be thought of as 'baby amber.' Like its much older counterpart, it is a hardened resin that originated as tree sap. Copal is similar in both appearance and chemistry to amber. Opinions vary from source to source as to when copal becomes amber, but the general consensus is that organic resin younger than 10 million years old is copal, while anything older is amber. As amber can be as old as 360 million years old, copal is substantially younger. The specimen in the pictures is the one you shall receiveWeight: 8.50 gramsMeasurements: 77.46mm x 25.38mm x 15.71mm
