Very RARE Large Resin Tube with Beetle Inside in Dominican Amber Fossil Gem

Description: This fully polished amber fossil from the mines in the Dominican Republic contains a fascinating find: a very rare, large resin tube! Inside of the resin tube is a bark beetle. The resin tube is sometimes referred to as 'amber in amber' and is the result of an earlier resin flow (the darker tube) being caught inside a later one. It is quite rare to find a resin tube of such a large size.This piece originated from the Dominican Republic. The piece itself weighs 3.1 grams and has approximate dimensions of 2.5 cm length, 1.5 cm width, and 1 cm height. NOTE: 2.54 cm is approximately 1 inch. This piece could be used as a specimen or in a piece of jewelry. I also offer other Dominican amber specimens for sale and rare blue Indonesian amber. Thank you for your consideration. This amber will ship worldwide. I will combine items to save on shipping for up to a 7 day period and usually ship within 1 business day. Please see my feedback. I have been selling amber fossils for over 15 years on eBay and do not sell fake amber only genuine material from now extinct plant sources not glass or plastic embedded with present day inclusions. This piece is genuine amber formed over millions of years of polymerization. Please note that the saltwater test to identify real from fake amber is not reliable. The saltwater test claims that real amber will float in saltwater while fake amber will sink.However, many amber sources or even specimens will not float in saltwater as their botanical (plant) composition as well as fossil inclusions are such that they are more dense than saltwater and so sink. I do not sell fake amber. My feedback should help demonstrate this. Dominican amber is known for the clarity and preservation as well as variety of its inclusions. Such things as insects, arachnids, and botanicals can be found. Please click on or mouse over images to see the pictures better. Do please consider the very rare Burmese (Burmite) amber along with my large Colombian copal specimens with a variety of inclusions I am currently listing at low starting bids. I will combine items for up to a 7 day period to save on shipping costs. International Buyers: Please note that I ship using First Class Mail International. A SPECIAL NOTE CONCERNING INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please understand that import duties, taxes and charges are NOT included in the selling price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check your country's customs office to determine what these additional charges may be prior to bidding/buying. I cannot guarantee delivery of your item in a set amount of time. Different country's customs offices take longer to process items than others do. Lastly, I do not mark merchandise values below their true value or mark items as "gifts." U.S. and International government regulations prohibit such behavior. Honesty is the best option.
