Please see my feedback. I have sold fossil amber for over 10 years on eBay and sell only authentic fossil amber, not fake or plastic.

Please see my Burmese (Burmite) amber also from the time of the dinosaurs.

This is a fully polished piece of all-natural authentic Dominican amber from the mines in the Dominican Republic that contains a remarkable and super rare find. It contains an enormous, oxidized ant with a thorn on it thorax! Please note the thorn protruding from the middle of its body (its thorax). This thorn was used for protection most likely. The ant was probably some type of soldier or warrior ant used to protect the nest. 

This ant is probably the largest ant I have ever seen in any Dominican amber fossil. It would cover the U.S. nickel shown for size in the last picture. 

This is the same amber source that was featured in the movie series Jurassic Park.

Dominican amber has been dated to between 17 and 20 million years old according to geologic studies.

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.

The piece itself weighs 3.5 grams and has approximate dimensions of 2.3 cm length, 2.1 cm width, and 0.8 cm heightNOTE:  2.5 cm is approximately 1 inch.  I hand-sand and fully polish the majority of amber pieces I offer, this piece from rough originating from the Dominican Republic

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; however, I will also ship using Priority Mail International Small Flat Rate Box. This method is more expensive though.

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 at $14.00 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.  PAYMENT BY PAYPAL ONLY PLEASE.
