This is a set of 3 pieces of genuine Amber.
What makes it supremely rare is that it is from the UK.
While Amber can be found in many places across the World, it is unbelievably rare to find any in the UK.
There is only one other person selling any UK amber and he is the person I bought this from.
This isn't the most beautiful amber you can buy, and it doesn't contain any insects ( as far as i can tell without a microscope, but you never know!)
What it is though is an extremely rare piece of UK natural history.
The collector who found it has spent many years exploring the rock strata of the South of England and he has found a small amount of this material.
What I have is very little, and when that is gone, there will be no more to offer.
The amber was collected in 1007 in Bexhill, East Sussex
It is from the Wealden formation and is 140 Million years old.
The collector who found this Amber has been featured extensively in the National press as he recently found a piece of amber that contains one of the oldest spiders ever found.
You can read about him and his discovery hereIf you are a fossil collector who likes something both rare and unusual this could be just for you.
The set is boxed and contains 3 pieces of amber that are between 2mm and 4mm across.
