| Notes:
|
1.
Those marked with an asterisk (*) are the most common.
2. Those underlined are easily visable to the naked eye,
in the 4mm to 6mm range. Most of the others are 2mm to 4mm.
3. Some few minor substitutions may be necessary if a particular
family is not immediately available.
4. A 20% discount will have been factored into the total
price. The smaller pieces of amber with intact specimens are more
economical, if your interest is mainly in the specimen.
