Description

The listing, Baltic Amber With At Least 1 Insect/Bug Embedded In It! has ended.

Don't be afraid to bid~it is for real.
Genuine Baltic Amber With at Least 1 Insect/Bug Embedded In It.
You have to use a loop to see~But it's there!
Not an expert in insects~so I'm not sure what kind of bug it is~my own personal one has a mosquito in it.
According to my rock expert~The chance of there being mulipule insects/bugs is pretty much yes.He said that as soon as he sees 1,that he puts it in the insect basket but that doesn't mean that there are not more~they are just too small for my loop.
Guaranty 1 insect/bug.There are several other inclusions that are either plant or insect.
This beauty is 1 3/4" long x 1/2" to 3/4" wide.Weighs 7.8 grams.
TENS OF MILLIONS OF YEARS OLD!

Amber is a beautiful stone that is cut and polished and used as a valuable gemstone. It is very light in weight which allows it to be used in a large jewelry piece without discomfort. Amber, or fossil tree sap, has been known since antiquity. A fossil itself, it can contain many preserved insects and other animals and plants that are tens of millions of years old. These frequent fossil inclusions were made famous in the movie "Jurassic Park". The odd inclusions that are often seen in amber usually add to amber's unique look and in many cases greatly increase its value.

yes for the comment credit and yes to the insect in the amber.There may be more than one,only smaller.I looked through the loop~but I cannot tell if the other inclusions are plant or insect.

Is it rare for these type of stones to pop up? Im a colector of stones, crystals, quartz, etc. n havent once come across this rock.

My rock guy travels the world.He always has a bunch.He hand chose this one for me to auction.Mine with a very large mosquito cost alot~but are available.I can even get you just plain amber without inclusions.If you ever want a special kind of rock or fossil~let me know.

Jul 9th, 2012 at 11:38:29 AM PDT by

i have a question but not about the amber. what benifits does making an auction a premium auction give you? still kinda ne to this and i was just wndering. thanks for any help you have. i love the Amber as well! F&W!

Jul 9th, 2012 at 11:33:02 AM PDT by

Sometimes it isn't worth it to make it premium because of the credits it takes.A bit of a gamble.If you have something way cool that you want a bunch of people to see~and it's worth way more than what the premium costs~do it~if you want to gamble. :D

Jul 9th, 2012 at 11:44:43 AM PDT by

great thanks for the info! i wondered when i saw it and other peoples auctions had it. i thought listia picked and chose which auctions, and i wondered how they picked. then i saw the option up on one of mine, you are right very expensive :) thanks again!

Jul 9th, 2012 at 11:49:00 AM PDT by

Thank You so much. Fanned back~I hope people will see it's true worth! It really is a fantastic item!

Watching this one! Very very cool, my husband would love this, he is obsessed with this sort of thing! I see that you say if a person wants any sort of fossil, etc, to ask.. What I'm wondering is if you would know how much wooly mammoth teeth are worth? I don't mean to hijack, I'm wondering because I've thought about listing some on here, but would really love to know if you have any idea on their value? The man that verified to me what they were after I found them regards fossils as "priceless" and wouldn't give me any sort of value estimate. Thanks so much! :)

Jul 16th, 2012 at 10:08:04 PM PDT by

I'll check with him and def will let you know~Thanks

I only have a metaphysical shop where I purchase from & the prices are marked up high, but Iove all things organic & from other lifetimes!!! I'll message you my email address.

Jul 19th, 2012 at 3:29:31 PM PDT by

As to premium auctions..... when I first got on Listia I bought a few Premium auctions which did ok because they showed up prominently like they should in the search but then I started to notice after only a couple weeks that the next Premium auctions I bought weren't showing up in the search like they should so I contacted Listia but got no answer and no change in placement. What's the point in buying a Premium if it doesn't get your auction seen? To heck with that....

Jul 19th, 2012 at 11:56:36 AM PDT by

yeah~for sure...

Jul 19th, 2012 at 12:25:09 PM PDT by

Wow, maybe take some better pics, have at least one that's not totally blurry.

Jul 19th, 2012 at 12:19:54 AM PDT by

There are 3 pictures. They are as good as my camera gets. Think you are at the wrong auction~3 doors down and take a left~buh-bye...
