Fossilized Amber ...This amber is unique, yet its true age is unknown.The potential significance is obvious, along with the constant scrutiny and assumption which i've been receiving continuously concerning its authenticity. This has been verified as organic/natural by a gentleman named Dave Bunk of "Dave Bunk Minerals." He's a geologist/fossil expert in Arvada, Colorado. At the time of his up close look he suspected it to possibly be copal. This based on the fact that it would be "too significant if it were authentic amber." Since that time ive performed the "acetone test," twice - passes with flying colors. Evaporates leaving no trace. So....copal is out. Aside from termites, a tiny arachnid & what seems to be a moth-like insect my knowledge extends no further.This piece needs to be in the hands of the scientific community where it can be studied further, in my opinion. Serious inquiries are more than welcome to call, message, or visit in person with any questions, concerns and/or tests to confirm it's identity.
Side note ... notice the releases of oxygen throughout the piece in the form of bubbles or air pockets. The photo marked highlights one of these examples which was preserved at the moment of its release, originating from the breath of the fascinating inclusion. That in itself to my knowledge wouldnt or couldn't be synthesized.
