Amber 92.01 ct.

Amber

a fossil tree resin of various geological age.

In order to qualify as "amber", it is NOT sufficient for a tree resin merely to harden by losing its volatiles, the molecules have to polymerize, which can take millions of years (or at least 100,000 years). After polymerization, amber becomes significantly less soluble in common organic solvents, and so will not become sticky if wetted with alcohol, acetone or gasoline. Much of the material marketed as "amber" (especially that from Colombia and Madagascar) is far too young to be considered amber and is in reality just dried tree resin,called copal. ( from Wikipedia)

This material here comes from Chiapas, Mexico, and is untreated..Dated around 20 million years ago.
