Amber from Dominican Republic




All fossils here were posted on e-bay and came from the mountains from Dominican Republic (+30 million years old). Many of the amber containing fossils sold from Dominican Republic are fake. It's sometimes hard to tell from just looking at the photos posted on e-bay which are real and which are not. Make your own judgements.
