Amber With a Leaf, For Sale!

Leaf

This Dominican amber displays a beautiful and unbelievably preserved entire leaf from Hymenaea protea. The leaf is very impressive, and the amber it is in is great. The weight of this hunk is 63.1 grams. It is quite a handfull. This leaf must have fallen just as the resin was ozzing from the tree. The algarrobo tree that the leaf came from is extinct now, but there are current relatives in the tropics today. Fourteen species of Hymenaea trees are found today throught the Caribbean and South Amberica. In the Dominican Republic the trees are called algarrobo and the resin is call peruvia.
