2 - BALTIC AMBER
This
page is different from the other pages. Please note that while all the
other pages have amber from the Dominican Republic, this page has amber
from the Baltic area. Bottom line, everything on this page is Baltic
amber. Take a look at the bottom of this page - there are some
very new specials.
We now have a new page of weekly Baltic amber specials - real
sale prices! Check it out.

Neat piece with 5 fungus gnats, Diptera, Mycetophilidae. Looks like
they were in a swarm and got caught in the sticky resin.

30. I am just not sure, but I am sure this guy is big. Maybe a long
horned beetle or a barklice? This should be a great find for someone
who knows their insects.

Almost sound trite when I say a "spider and a fly". This
is a large piece of Baltic amber. The fly is large while the spider
is small.

This is a big chunk of Baltic amber. Near the middle is a natural
hole - it is a pendant if you want it. In this amber is a small
gnat and a very unusual
spherical object that I cannot ID.

Here is a large piece that has so much inside, I would call it a
zoo. I see something new each time I look at it. It has all types
of gnats, midges, flies - you name it, it has it. This one is loads
of fun.

46. Not sure what type of beetle only that it is a beetle, Coleoptera.
Closer to the center, this beetle is difficult to see.

Here it is - a mosquito, Diptera, Culicidae. These are so hard to find in Baltic amber.
Mosquitos are not attracted to the resin as many other animals are,
remember the mosquitos are attracted to CO2 and warmth. To find
one in amber is VERY rare. So rare that anything like this commands
a very strong price. You might no ever see one again.

Protective case of the Trichoptera
larva. If you
look attentively you can
see the head of the
larva which tries
to get off the cover. That is my best
guess - on the other hand it could
be a larvae in a larvae
case (Lepidoptera) - but I do not think so.
