Description
By definition, a mineral or crystal is inorganic. Organic molecules contain carbon and carbon-hydrogen bonds. Because of this, amber receives the classification or organic gemstone. This specimen is suitable for jewelry, a desk top, or the pocket. It is a piece of fine amber mined from Columbia and hand polished by South American artisans. There are two insects (one with wings) perfectly preserved inside as well many fibers of ancient plant life. See last photo for detail. NOTE: a corner of the specimen was chipped while in transit to me from Columbia and has been repaired with paleobond glue. It is a 1cm chip on a corner (see photos). For this reason, it is being listed for sale at a price less than what I paid to have it shipped to me directly from Columbia. I purchased a total of two pieces with insects (the other has what looks like an ant inside so feel free to inquire about that one but the price will be nearly double just fyi). Origin: Columbia, South America Weight: 3.18g (15.9 carats)
