Description

This is not just amber - this is an out-standing rarity; the only relevant amber discovery in entire Austria (done in the 80ties) - and it belongs to the oldest amber world-wide (about 120 millions of years old - much older than material from Germany, Poland etc. A this is a very exceptional sample of amber embedded in matrix. With minor backlight the amber seems to glow in intense orange color between the coal-matrix. Really a wonerful and exceptional specimen from this famous discovery.
