Burmese amber is around a hundred million years old and is found in the Hukawng Valley, a 14,000 square kilometer rugged area in Northern Burma (Now known as Myanmar). Burmese amber is of significant paleontological interest due to the diversity of flora and fauna contained as inclusions, particularly arthropods including insects and arachnids but also birds, lizards, snakes, frogs and fragmentary dinosaur remains. A hundred million years ago the area was a tropical rainforest and because both fresh and salt water species have been found in the amber it is believed that the area was near the coast with rivers moving the tree resin around. Animals, especially insects as well as plant material and leaves get trapped in the tree resin and gets encased in the resin where it turns in amber after millions of years. There is a wide variety of inclusions in Burmese Amber (More than 2700 different species are known to be found in Burmese Amber). Burmese amber has been mined for 2000 years - mostly to be made into jewellery.

This is coming from Australia. I used to have a crystal shop in North Shore Auckland (Earthly Treasures) where I had the lowest priced gemstones and Crystals in New Zealand. I often get old customers asking me to come back as the New Zealand rock clubs and shops dont offer the same value that my shop did. I closed my shop and moved to Australia but through my trademe auctions I can still supply New Zealand with crystals at a great price. More will get added all the time.
