True Baltic Amber Fossil from Lithuania with Insect Inclusion

Ancient Life Preserved in Genuine Baltic Amber

Size:  10mm x 10mm x 3.5mm Approximately

This authentic Baltic amber fossil from Lithuania offers a rare and fascinating glimpse into prehistoric life. Baltic amber is not a mineral, but fossilised tree resin formed over 40–50 million years ago during the Eocene Epoch, when vast pine forests covered Northern Europe. As resin oozed from ancient trees, it acted as nature’s perfect time capsule—sticky, aromatic, and fast-hardening.

Insects became trapped when they wandered too close to the flowing resin. Once encased, they were sealed away from oxygen, decay, and scavengers. Over millions of years, pressure, heat, and time transformed the resin into genuine Baltic amber, preserving delicate details such as wings, legs, and body structures with astonishing clarity. These natural insect inclusions are true fossils, capturing life exactly as it existed millions of years ago.

The Baltic region—particularly Lithuania—is world-renowned for producing the finest amber specimens. Amber is typically recovered from ancient marine sediments along the Baltic coastline, riverbeds, and glacial deposits, where erosion releases these golden fossils from their host rock. Lithuanian amber is prized by collectors for its clarity, warm honey tones, and scientific importance.

Baltic amber holds exceptional significance in the fossil record, providing some of the most detailed evidence of prehistoric ecosystems ever discovered. Unlike compressed fossils, amber preserves organisms in three dimensions, offering invaluable insights into ancient insects, plants, and environments that would otherwise be lost to time.

✨ Add this authentic Baltic amber insect fossil to your collection today and own a genuine piece of Europe’s prehistoric past—perfect for collectors, educators, and fossil enthusiasts alike.
