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.
