15" Piece Of Polished Indonesian Amber - 19 lbs

This is a huge, 15" wide piece of amber collected from West Kalimantan, Indonesia. It weighs 19 lbs.

The amber has been polished to a glossy finish across the across most of the specimen. One edge is broken and in a rough state, but the piece displays nicely with the rough edge facing down. Under both short and long-wave UV, the amber fluoresces a vibrant blue-purple color, as well as reveals the waves/layers that formed during the deposition of the amber.

Amber is fossilized tree resin that frequently contains inclusions such as plant matter, fungi, and insects. This amber comes from Indonesia and is believed to have formed during the mid-late Miocene, about 10-20 million years ago or older.
