We have thousands of fossil amber inclusions from various deposits around the world. At the amber lab, each specimen is tested for authenticity and carefully examined by an expert amber scientist in order to obtain the correct identification. At present, very few of the specimens are for sale. In addition to the rare (and expensive) amber specimens for sale (click the Amber For Sale tab above) we also sell amber collector starter packs (see below)...great for kids, school projects, gifts etc. Each pack contains five Dominican amber stones in professional display boxes (with a transparent lid) and a certificate of authenticity. A minimum of one fossil fly (Diptera), one spider (Araneae), one beetle (Coleoptera), one true bug (Hemiptera) and one ant (Hymenoptera) are included. Some specimens may contain more than one inclusion, so this is the minimum you can expect. The nature of fossilization in amber is that it often traps relatively small organisms, so please do not order these if you are expecting huge fossil insects. Most are best observed with a hand lens or under a microscope.
We also offer an identification service. Please email siri.press@live.co.uk with your enquires.
If you need particular taxonomic groups for systematics research or to produce sufficient replicates for other projects such as attempts to extract DNA this can probably be arranged. Do you need air bubbles trapped in fluid inside the amber (enhydros - see below) to study ancient atmospheres? Please contact siri.press@live.co.uk with your specific requirements. Please enjoy the photos on the associated pages.
Enhydro (ancient air bubble trapped inside water droplet in the amber) in Dominican amber. You can actually see the air bubble floating around! We have several specimens available, including a sufficient number of specimens as replicates for scientific study. These are for sale at £100 each.
Amber Collector Starter Pack
(note this includes only five amber pieces (as described above) in display boxes with certificates of authenticity. The photo is to give an idea of the stones available. The price is only £55.00, which includes postage and packing within the UK. Save money by purchasing our new amber booklet at the discount price of £2.50 (normally £3.00) and with no additional postage when ordered with any amber specimen(s). Please email siri.press@live.co.uk for this option.
Single specimens are also available and are priced depending on the size of the stone and the quality/size/rarity of the fossil inclusion. Again, these make great gifts for kids to show off at school...their very own piece of Jurassic Park history!
