Sale Price	Description of the Specimen
$169	105. A beautiful piece of amber. Not polished on the sides - adds a lot of class to this chunk. The amber is dark and very clear. There are some great animals here - a fungus gnat (good sized), Diptera, Mycetophilidae, a small unknown fly and two bark-gnawing beetles, Coleoptera, Ostomatidae. One of the things that make this such a special piece is that you can see through both flat sides Scanned Image!
$29 SOLD	106. This is a lovely piece of amber, yellow with a tinge of red. There is one spider off to the side - difficult to photograph. Great price of this beauty Scanned Image!
$79	107. David and Goliath - good sized piece with two different species of ants, Hymenoptera, Formicidae, one very large and the other small. Very sharp piece. Scanned Image!
$69	108 Sterile, female worker ant, Hymenoptera, family Formicidae. Interesting piece with some lovely fungal decomposition. Actually there is a second ant also! Next to he ant is a small gnat, Diptera. Scanned Image!
$133	109. A termite, Isoptera, Nasute caste. This specialized caste has a pointed snout with poison-filled sacs with which it attacks invaders of the colony. The amber is very clear and filled with coprolites. Just a beautiful piece. Scanned Image!
$18	110 Interesting beetle, Coleoptera, in an otherwise difficult piece of amber. Scanned Image!
$39	111. Here is a male winged ant, Hymenoptera, Formicidae and few other strewn miscellaneous body parts. Scanned Image!
$99	112. I'm not 100% sure on this - I think it is a moth or butterfly but it could be a leafhopper. Only an expert can tell. Whichever, it is large and impressive, with very clear amber. Scanned Image!
$128	113 Great piece. Shows layers and has two different colors. In this large piece of amber you will find a caddis fly, Triphoptera. This is a really fine piece of old (24 million years old) Dominican amber. Scanned Image!
$36	114. Sometimes your best guess is good, I hope it is here, because I think this is an Isopod. That is as far as I will take this though - the amber is a lovely clear yellow! Scanned Image!
$54	115. Very clear piece of 25 million year old amber. This has a very nice looking roach, Blattodea. Good piece, easy to see. Scanned Image!
$111	116. This is a very interesting piece of Dominican amber. It contains a full size adult planthopper, Homoptera, super family Fulgoridea, a complete winged termite, Isoptera, 3 flies, Diptera and above the left wing of the planthopper is a mite (not shown in photographs)! There is a lot of organic debris (see scan) - which is very good and even a piece of unknown plant material. Scanned Image!
$42	117. In small spider amongst a sea of yellow with ancient air bubbles all around. Nice piece - only a spider here. Scanned Image!

$156	122. Just about as good as it gets, this triangular piece of amber has a nice sized moth, Lepidoptera. Very easy to see, this will be an impressive addition for anyone. Scanned Image!
$519	123. 74 grams of pure sunshine. This is a magnificent piece of amber. Very clear with a perfect color. Just a wonderful piece of 24 million year old resin It is about 2 x 2. x .75 inches in size. Scanned Image!
$25	124. A fungus gnat that got attacked by a fungus! Poetic justice. There are two objects which I believe are from plants, such as a bract from a flower or something similar. Under one bract is the hind end of a silverfish or a roach. Scanned Image!
$134	125 This is a large piece of amber with a large cricket in it. Very easy to see, even at a glance. Rather unusual because of the fine way it looks. Scanned Image!
$98	126 This contains a small immature cricket amid a sea of organic debris. It has a stunning effect. Actually, I see this as a future pendant because of the perfect shape (a 1 or 2 mm band of gold going around would be perfect.) It is really nice. Scanned Image!
$42	127. Here is a male gall gnat, Cecidomyiidae with very plumose antennae. Nice, and easy to see - male gnat !Scanned Image!

$58	143. Nice sized piece of yellow amber (fat bottom) with a fungus gnat, Diptera, Mycetophilidae and some unique organic inclusions. One looks like part of a branching twig and the other, well I just do not know. Scanned Image!

$172	152. This is really easy to see - a flower bud. It is very unusual to find one, much less to find one this large. This is quite a piece! There is also a small ant and planthopper. Scanned Image!
$278	153. Probably one of the finest planthopper nymphs I have ever seen, Homoptera, Fulgoridea. The nymph is text book and the amber is perfectly clear with a wonderful yellow. This is a superb piece of Dominican amber. You will enjoy the detail of this animal. Scanned Image!

$229 SOLD	157. First off, let me admit that I am not sure what this is. I have many guesses, an aquatic lacewing, Planipennia is my best guess, but I freely admit there is 60% chance that I am wrong. This is an amazing pie of amber, nearly 2 inches in length and very clear. The wing venation is wonderful on this 24 million year old animal. Scanned Image!
$48	158. Large piece that has at least two fungus gnats, Diptera, Mycetophilidaea. There really is a lot more in this busy, including what looks like part of a leaf (do not think it is) and some miscellaneous debris scattered inside. Fun piece. Scanned Image!

$154	160. A big piece of amber with a lot in it. To give you an idea of the size, it weighs 41.2 grams. A set of termite wings, a termite, gnats, ants, a beetle larvae (rear chopped off) small fly - well just about everything. But the crowning glory is what looks like a seed from a grass. You can see the barbed head - it looks like the ones that used to get on my socks when I was a kid. Very nice piece. This even has some other unknowns. Scanned Image!
$37	161. Smallish piece of amber with a nice flat bark beetle, Coleoptera, Cucujidae and a wasp, Hymenoptera. Scanned Image!
