More frequently amber is discovered without insect inclusions. Sometimes large masses of amber is found. Below are a number of pieces of Dominican amber that have been polished. These are some of the larger and more impressive 'amber chunks'. Large pieces such as these are VERY infrequently found. The resin formation and deposition necessary for this type of piece does not happen very often.

23. You are going to like this one. It is a solid piece of Dominican amber with lots of inclusions of wood and such - I just cannot tell. I cut it in half to see what was in it, and as you can see - just great looking stuff. The cut piece is about 1/4 inch thick. This entire chunk is going to be made into some beautiful jewelry! Perfect for a pendant with a free form, fairly easy to polish, it is just good. Overall, about 3 x 2.5 x 1.5 inches, this can be made into one heck of a lot of jewelry. This is solid, no cracks and weighs about 159 grams.
