Baltic amber with insect(s), 3.4g Eocene, Lithuania

Amber is a hard translucent fossilized tree resin produced by extinct coniferous trees of the Tertiary period, typically yellowish in color. It has been appreciated for its color and natural beauty since Neolithic times. Much valued from antiquity to the present as a gemstone, amber is made into a variety of decorative objects. Occasionally insects were caught in the sticky resin forming a type of fossil. Baltic amber is around 45 million years old.
