Golden Burmese amber with multiple well-preserved insect inclusions. The insects appear to be small flies (Diptera), a common group found in amber deposits. Their detail is sharply visible under magnification, offering a direct window into ancient ecosystems.
Burmese amber is found in the Hukawng Valley of northern Myanmar and is estimated to be around 99 million years old, dating back to the mid-Cretaceous period. Unlike Baltic amber, which is younger and derived mainly from conifer resins, Burmese amber formed from the resin of ancient tropical trees, likely from the araucaria or dipterocarp family. Its great age and the remarkable preservation of inclusions make it one of the most scientifically important ambers in the world.
