AMBER This fabulous material is the most fantastic to work with, Amber is fossilized tree resin. When liquid this aromatic and sticky resin attracted many types of insects which became trapped within. The degree of preservation is excellent retaining many details and even the colors of the insects and the botanical inclusions. Both the botanical and animal inclusions not only add beauty, but are of potential scientific value in the study of taxonomy and evolution. Most of what you will see below is from The rainforests of Columbia South America. This piece has three layers with wood entombed between each layer, absolutely incredible.
A Large group of Termites were frozen in time in this AMBER Tomb HISTORY THE EARLIEST KNOWN INSECTS ARE TINY WINGLESS FORMS FROM THE EARLY AND MIDDLE DEVONIAN. INSECT FLIGHT DEVELOPED WITH SUDDENNESS RESEMBLING THE CAMBRIAN EXPLOSION DURING THE MIDDLE CARBONIFEROUS, APPARENTLY THE RESULT OF THE SIGNIFICANT INSECTS HAD EVOLVED INTO A LARGE NUMBER OF DISTINCT ORDERS. DURING THE PERMIAN, NEW INSECT FORMS APPEARED. BLATTOID AND ORTHOPTEROID ORDERS ATTAINED THEIR GREATEST DIVERSITY, AND NEW GROUPS LIKE THE PSOCOPTERA, HOMOPTERAN HEMIPTERA, MECOPTERA, AND COLEOPTERA BECAME UBIQUITOUS AND DIVERSE. THE PERMIAN EXTINCTION WIPED OUT NINE ORDERS OF INSECTS, AND MORE ORDERS DISAPPEARED IN THE TRIASSIC OR THE EARLY JURASSIC ERAS. HOWEVER, SURVIVING ORDERS SUCH AS NEUROPTERA, MECOPTERA, AND DIPTERA, AND COLEOPTERA UNDERWENT FURTHER ADAPTIVE RADIATION ESTABLISHING MANY FAMILIES EXTANT IN MODERN TIMES. SO EXQUISITE IS INSECT DESIGN THAT MOST GROUPS WERE WELL FORMED BY THE CRETACEOUS AND REMAIN LARGELY UNCHANGED IN APPEARANCE DURING MODERN TIMES.
Most Amber you come across is very clear, those are gem quality, Each of these pieces has some very interesting inclusions with a lot of Botanical and Termite specimens. These are Science pieces. If you have an interest in purchasing any of these, I ask you to please email us at spir2its@msn.com We are always polishing up new pieces and coming across interesting Science pieces. We get it by the pounds in the rough state that they are found, and we then polish them up so that their beauty, hidden inside may be seen.
