Top-quality Dominican amber that I bought rough and hand-polished 20+ years ago. Weight is approximately 52 grams.
This piece is genuine amber formed over millions of years of polymerization.
This fully polished, gemmy specimen of all-natural authentic Dominican amber from the mines in the Dominican Republic contains a beautifully preserved Dolichopodid fly with large, faceted eyes from an ancient tropical forest.
Geological studies have dated Dominican amber to be between 17 and 20 million years old!
