Description
Science and beauty are rarely in conflict. Here they converge. Burmese amber at 99 million years old contains the most spectacular fossil record of Cretaceous forest life — including the first feathered dinosaur tail in amber, frogs, lizards, and intact flowers. A lizard inclusion of this age puts you within 35 million years of T. rex. These specimens are actively studied; owning one is participating in ongoing paleontology.
This specimen originates from Hukawng Valley, Kachin State, Myanmar, one of the world’s most significant localities for this type of material. Collectors and scientists have drawn from this region for generations, and for good reason: the combination of geological conditions here produces specimens of exceptional quality and clarity.
Every specimen is unique. Photographs approximate the visual experience, but the real thing — its weight, its luster under a raking light, the way it catches the corner of your eye — can only be experienced directly.
