i have not tried to sell any of mines except maybe to a friend etc what a collector would pay, i would not know... but i do know that i have seen small pieces that pale in comparison to what i have, and they were wanting a good price for them... i am gonna keep what i have it looks real good in my windows when the sun is a shining lmao.....

Sometimes the insects found in amber are very small and hard to see with the naked eye. If you would like an expert's opinion on your finds you should contact Paul Nascimbene with the Museum of Natural History. I have not communicated with him since the beginning of 2009 but I believe he is still with them. If you want his email address just PM me.

Cable said:I bought a very similar pc at a garage sale thinking that it was amber . I was told later on that it was or thought to be slag-----------------how do you tell the difference? Sounds simple but so far I have not found anyone that will say for sure what it is---it is always "it looks like glass" lol lol
