It originated from the resin of ancient pine trees that grew in the areas around the Baltic Sea approximately 44–54 million years ago.\nProperties and appearance\nLithuanian amber is known for its distinctive color, often ranging from light yellow to dark yellow, trending towards honey or orange shades. There are also darker specimens, from brown to almost black, while almost white or greenish variants are rarer. Due to its high succinic acid content (up to about 8%), Baltic amber is considered superior in quality to other types. It often contains natural inclusions such as air bubbles, plant fragments or small insects, which significantly increase its collectible and aesthetic value.\nInsect inclusions\nInsects in Lithuanian amber are a fascinating and valuable discovery, offering insight into prehistoric ecosystems. Lithuania, like other Baltic region countries, produces amber with various inclusions, many of which contain exceptionally well-preserved insects.\nFlies and mosquitoes – various species are common inclusions\nAnts – frequently found, they provide valuable data on insect social behavior and evolution\nWasps and bees – rarer, but inclusions of different species offer information on pollination evolution\nBeetles – very common inclusions, from small bark beetles to larger species\nTermites – their presence reveals much about ancient wood-decomposing ecosystems\nSpiders and other arachnids – while not insects, they are commonly found in amber\nCollection and processing\nIndustrial amber extraction is not currently practiced in Lithuania, unlike in the Kaliningrad region. Instead, amber is traditionally collected along the Baltic Sea coast, especially near the towns of Palanga, Klaipėda, and Šventoji, where it is brought ashore by sea waves—most often after storms.\nHowever, Lithuania is an important center for amber processing and is globally recognized for producing amber jewelry. Raw amber is first sorted by size, color, and quality, then cut, sanded, and polished. This process enhances the natural structure, luster, and unique character of each stone.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PeltramMinerals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58028051202373,"sku":"IJK015","price":61.41,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0881\/1659\/2965\/files\/15892_insects-in-amber-in-a-box-with-magnifying-glass---lithuania.jpg?v=1779379543"},{"product_id":"insect-in-amber-hukawng-myanmar-ij036","title":"Insect in amber – Hukawng, Myanmar - IJ036","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocation: Hukawng, Myanmar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge: 110-70 million years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 13g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 5.1 x 3.3 x 1.7 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDETAILED DESCRIPTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBurmese amber, formerly called burmite, is one of the most fascinating types of true amber.

It contains fossilized remains of insects, arachnids, plants, feathers, and even small vertebrates (e.g., lizards or parts of birds).\nProperties and Color\nIts color ranges from yellow, orange, and honey tones to deep red or brown. Rarer specimens can show greenish or bluish hues. In terms of transparency, both very transparent and opaque pieces are found. Due to its high degree of polymerization, it is more resistant than younger fossil resins (copal), but still requires delicate handling, especially concerning temperature variations and exposure to chemicals.\nExtraction and Ethical Aspects\nAmber in Myanmar is primarily extracted manually, in remote and hard-to-reach areas, particularly in the northern Kachin region. Miners often work in difficult conditions, with simple tools and without modern equipment. Due to the isolation of the region and poor infrastructure, transporting the raw material to processing or export centers is logistically challenging.\nProcessing and Use\nBurmese amber is highly valued in jewelry production, where it is cut and polished into cabochons or faceted stones.

Darker specimens, from brown to almost black, also exist, while almost white or greenish variants are rarer.

It originated from the resin of ancient pine trees that grew in the areas around the Baltic Sea about 44–54 million years ago.\nProperties and Appearance\nLithuanian amber is known for its distinctive color, often ranging from light to dark yellow, tending towards honey or orange shades. Darker specimens, from brown to almost black, also exist, while almost white or greenish variants are rarer. Due to its high succinic acid content (up to about 8%), Baltic amber is considered of higher quality than other types. It often contains natural inclusions such as air bubbles, plant fragments, or small insects, which significantly increase its collectible and aesthetic value.\nInsect Inclusions\nInsects in Lithuanian amber are a fascinating and valuable discovery, offering a glimpse into prehistoric ecosystems. Lithuania, like other countries in the Baltic region, produces amber with various inclusions, many of which contain exceptionally well-preserved insects.\nFlies and mosquitoes – various species are common inclusions\nAnts – frequently found, they provide valuable data on social behavior and insect evolution\nWasps and bees – rarer, but inclusions of different species offer insights into the evolution of pollination\nBeetles – very common inclusions, from small bark beetles to larger species\nTermites – their presence reveals much about ancient wood-decomposing ecosystems\nSpiders and other arachnids – although not insects, they are commonly found in amber\nCollection and Processing\nIndustrial amber mining is not currently practiced in Lithuania, unlike in the Kaliningrad region. Instead, amber is traditionally collected along the Baltic Sea coast, especially near the towns of Palanga, Klaipėda, and Šventoji, where it is brought ashore by sea waves — most often after storms.\nHowever, Lithuania is an important center for amber processing and is globally recognized for producing amber jewelry. Raw amber is first selected by size, color, and quality, then cut, sanded, and polished.

Darker specimens, from brown to almost black, also exist, while nearly white or greenish variants are rarer.
