    Oligocene
    Dominican Republic

    This example of Amber is rather small, but also happens to be quite clear, revealing an amazing and rare botanical inclusion consisting of a floral stamen with visible pollen grains. The little golden-yellow pill is a stunner with a captivating interior core. This polished piece is not large, but it definitely provides impact.
