    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.
    Burmese (Burmite) 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.
    This is a fully polished piece of Burmite (Burmese) amber that contains a large, curled millipede ('thousand legger') from the Cretaceous Period.
    This represents a unique and rare amber fossil from Myanmar (Burma) at a time when dinosaurs still walked the Earth.
    Please click on or mouse over images to see a larger view.
    The amber would look great set into a piece of jewelry like a pendant.
    When one realizes that this amber has been dated to around 100 million years old, it is something to see a millipede from that time.
    Please see my other resin fossils including Dominican amber with inclusions, large Colombian copal with inclusions, and very rare Indonesian ambers (some of lovely blue and green color).
    The piece itself weighs 0.6 grams with dimensions of 1.4 cm length by 1.1 cm width and 0.5 cm height. NOTE: 2.54 cm is 1 inch.
    I do 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. This piece could be used as a specimen or in a piece of jewelry. Thank you for your consideration. This amber will ship worldwide at .00 U.S.
    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.
