It forms when trees secrete resin, and the resin is quickly washed away by water and deposited in a lake where it is covered by sediment (if the resin isn’t washed away it decomposes or gets eaten). Along the way, small particles of dust, bits of plant material, and even small animals like insects and lizards can become trapped in the resin which hardens and preserves whatever is trapped within (aka inclusions). Myanmar amber, also known as Burmite, is world renowned gem quality amber known for excellent inclusions of insects, plants, and even small vertebrates! The preservation in amber can be so good it inspired a major portion of Jurassic Park, where blood sucking insects trapped in amber provided the DNA needed to clone dinosaurs! While the science of cloning dinosaurs from amber is, for better or worse, not a reality the pristine fossils of small animals that are rarely fossilized in any other way is very real! Makes for a terrific addition to any fossil collection or even a gem for high end jewelry!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFake Amber is a plague on the fossil market, this piece has been tested to guarantee authenticity!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eI do combined shipping upon request.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAll my items come with a Certificate of Authenticity!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInclusions: Tick\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 3\u003cspan\u003e mm (Tick)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClarity: Incredible\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColor: Light Citrine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFound: Hukawng Valley, Myanmar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAge: 99 million years old\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlteration: polished\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jako's Fossils","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46199635017916,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/9413\/2412\/files\/13a_58d39ace-db50-4f7d-ba53-37dd999ec8d6.jpg?v=1776299727","url":"https:\/\/jakosfossils.com\/products\/gem-dinosaur-age-burmite-fossil-amber-with-a-rare-tick-tested-for-authenticity","provider":"Jako's Fossil Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
