Information about amber inclusions

The fossils are mostly insects such as gnats, flies, wasps, bees and ants. Occasionally more exotic insects are trapped in the amber such as grasshoppers, preying mantises, beetles, moths, termites, butterflies, etc.

Other non-insect animals are found in amber too such as spiders, centipedes, scorpions and even frogs and lizards. No really large animals like mammals or birds are seen in amber but feathers and fur have been seen. Invaluable plant remains have also been found in amber including flowers, mushroom caps, seeds, leaves, stems, pine needles and pine cones.

The rarity of the trapped fossils controls the value of the amber more so than the quality of the amber. Remember these are fossils and are not the same species that are alive today. Amber has greatly increased the knowledge of the evolution of insects and plants as well as enlivening the interest in paleontology in general.

Fossil business

Recently, a new trend in the amber business has appeared: people thinking of the future, invest their money in purchasing unique pieces of amber containing fossils. Experts say that the cost of such collections will skyrocket in the future.

In Western Europe, interest in amber and admiration of the soft stone is growing. In Germany, an Amber Union has been established, consisting of more than a hundred scientists, collectors, people from the art world and representatives of the business world. Members of this union spend hours discussing the wonderful burning stone (Bernstein, amber).

The heart of German professor Wolfgang Weitschatt breaks when he hears that unique samples of amber are sold for songs to the West, thus disappearing from the scientists' field of vision. The professor dreams of finding an amber nugget with a fossil of a flea hardened within the resin millions of years ago. Until now, there are only two such finds known in the world.
