This is an small 44 million year old fossil shortwing beetle (order Coleoptera) preserved in Baltic amber. This beetle is about 5mm long

Please note: The market is flooded with fake amber, which is often plastics with insects embedded in it. The insect inclusions in amber are almost always tiny. Larger insects are able to struggle free and are not preserved. If you see something that looks too good to be true, it often is. Make sure to buy from a reputable dealer.
