Found this little piece in a field today. Thought I would share. I like how a lot of the petrified wood I find here has a very natural wood color to it. I had to tap this one on a rock before I was convinced it was petrified.
That amber is amazing! I've heard amber is pretty pricey & there has got to be a steep premium for trapped plants & creatures. Then again I've never been to a rock shop. May I ask how much'ish something like that goes for typically? It's OK if u don't remember. I've just never really seen it for sale.
That little piece of amber with the bug is probably about 3/4 of an inch long. It was close to 10 years ago and I want to say was somewhere around $30.
I am hoping to make it up to a rock shop in the next few weeks. I will try to remember to look at their amber. Rock shops are a dangerous place for someone like me because everything seems so much less expensive than I would ever let it go for if I found it. Luckily I am also very frugal.
Holy dung!!! That's way less than I would have expected! I agree 100%. That would be a dangerous place for me too! I would NEVER sell that for anywhere close to that! Very great find & u didn't even get dirty. HH
