Incredibly rare examples of Hastings 'Firestorm' amber. These five pieces of historic amber are 140 million years old - EARLY CRETACEOUS DINOSAUR AGE! These are opaque samples, therefore, would require a synchrotron scan to peer inside. It's still an exciting thought that insects have yet to be discovered in Hastings Wealden amber, maybe they could be trapped inside these forms of amber! Who knows. The discovery of amber in the Hastings Beds is very exciting since world amber deposits of this age are very rare indeed. Hastings amber is among the oldest fossiliferous amber in the world. So far inclusions in Hastings amber include microscopic air and liquid bubbles, pollen, fungal spores, microbial organisms, botanical specimens, spider's silk web and the amazing discovery made by me of insect silk cocoons preserved in amber. The great age of Hastings Wealden amber is very significant. This piece of ancient amber would make an interesting addition to any collection. This is an exclusive offering.
