Amber With a Feather in it, For Sale!

A Feather!

This feather was on a bird 25 million years ago. A gust of wind or a brush on the tree knocked the feathers off, it became wedged in a mass of sticky resin and it was discovered 25 million years later. Feathers, as I am sure you can guess are are rare as hen's teeth. This one of particularily nice. It is good sized also, being about 1 inch in length. If you look closely you can even see the barbs in the feather. I took a bunch of pictures under the microscope - just beautiful parts of an ancient feather . Here is a Scanned Image!

Here is a closer image of the barbs which make up feathers.

You can see the 'wisps' of the feather on this picture.

This is really a rare specimen. It is the only feather I have run across in years and years of amber trading.

If this specimen is the one for you then just click on this price.............
