Here is something you almost never see — a rare tick preserved in genuine Burmese amber, beautifully shaped into a polished cabochon. Ticks are extraordinarily uncommon in amber deposits of

any age, making this specimen a true collector’s prize. The tick is good sized and appears engorged, adding a dramatic and scientifically fascinating detail that immediately captures attention.

The warm, golden Burmese amber frames the specimen perfectly, allowing you to clearly observe its body form and remarkable preservation. Imagine holding a tiny parasite that once lived nearly 100 million years ago — frozen at the height of its last meal. For collectors of unusual inclusions, paleontology enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates rare moments of prehistoric life captured in time, this is not just amber — it’s a story waiting to be told.

  Ticks are not attracted to aeromantic amber like many insects.  They come off the bodies of mammals that brush up against the sticky resins - which makes them very rare in amber.
