Hymenaea protera
Miocene

Silver wire-wrapped into a unique pendant, this piece of jewelry ready for a necklace features a large, irregular teardrop-shaped specimen of Dominican Amber with a wonderful, golden-yellow coloration. However, it is the inclusions inside this example that make the overall offering so very special. With a mix of both animal and plant fossils, the list of insect and botanical players in this diorama is extensive, with a leafhopper wing, parasitic wasp, flower stamen, seed bug, winged termite, and parasitic nymph.
