L'ambra è la resina emessa dalle conifere che successivamente con il tempo si fossilizza e in alcuni casi si solidifica conservando resti vegetali, fungini o animali tra cui artropodi e, molto più raramente, vertebrati. Anticamente, veniva prodotta in grande quantità dal Pinus succinifera. Essa è traslucida, di un colore che può variare dal giallo al rossiccio al bruno fino ad arrivare al verde e al blu dell'ambra dominicana e dell'isola di Giava. Esiste anche una varietà di ambra di un colore molto chiaro che si avvicina al bianco.

L'ambra è stata ritrovata anche in sedimenti di età carbonifera, periodo geologico antecedente alla comparsa delle angiosperme. Questa ambra presenta caratteristiche chimiche simili alle ambre più recenti, indicando che i meccanismi biologici in grado di produrre queste resine erano già presenti antecedentemente all'evoluzione delle angiosperme.

Rara Ambra proveniente da Sulawesi, Indonesia.

E' in ottime condizioni, ha circa 12 Milioni di anni.

Dimensione: 62mm.
