You are bidding  on a collection of cretaceous New Jersey amber with inclusions.

 ABOUT THE AMBER

This amber is 92 to 95 million years old, making it one of the oldest ambers with possible bug inclusions. Thousands of tons of Dominican and Baltic ambers are mined every year, as opposed to only the few tons of rare New Jersey Cretaceous amber found, ever.  Also, Dominican and Baltic amber is not nearly as old, rare, or valuable when compared to New Jersey amber.  In my experience, Baltic and Dominican amber with common insects have sold for just dollars a piece.  The few places online that sell New Jersey amber with insect inclusions have sold these pieces for hundreds of dollars each.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

These pieces are from my private collection of Jersey amber. many of these pieces are larger and most of these pieces have inclusions which is something inside the amber. A few pieces may have a window polished into it but will need to be fully polished and fully examined. You may find insects in the amber and the insects you could find could have sat and fed on a dinosaur's back! Not all the auctions will contain insects but many have been found in the lots I have sold.   Only a few ambers in the world are from the time of the dinosaurs, and this is one of them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This amber was dug in the Raritan formation in Sayreville, New Jersey (by myself) six to ten feet under the surface in thick bands of lignite.  Before this area became a construction site, it had previously and successfully been mined for amber by scientists from the Museum of Natural History. This amber has only been found in a  few places throughout New Jersey, and the location this amber was mined is said to have more insect-bearing amber than the others.  In fact, it is the same type of amber where the oldest mushroom, ant, and flower were discovered!  Over a hundred new species of bugs and plants have come from the pit where this amber was  mined. Many of the pieces are small; that is what's mostly found, but the smallest piece could have the most valuable treasure.
