A M B E R   ROUGH   (ambar en bruto)

Rare Chiapas amber rough specimen for the collector or lapidarist, will make a few excellent cabochons. There is no guarantee that this piece or any other rough amber specimen we sell has insects or plant life encased in it's resin, but there is always hope. The miner's scrutinize each rough specimen with a candle flame to see if there might be fossil specimens inside that were trapped in the resins of the trees millions of years ago.

If you look at a rough piece of amber you will see how difficult it is to see what may be inside (even with a bright halogen light) unless you cut and polish the specimen.
