Tiny Winged Insect (Diptera / Hymenoptera) .925 Sterling Silver Pendant

🪶 Description

This fossilized specimen dates back approximately 15–20 million years (Miocene Epoch) and was trapped in the resin of the extinct tree Hymenaea protera, which produced the world-famous Dominican amber.

The inclusion shows:

• A small winged insect (≈1–2 mm), with a clear wing membrane and visible venation.

• Transparent golden amber, showing good clarity with natural microbubbles and internal texture.

• The insect’s thorax and wing are well preserved, while other body details are partially obscured by amber flow.

Such micro-inclusions are scientifically interesting, as they represent the delicate insect fauna that thrived in tropical Miocene rainforests — helping paleontologists study ancient ecosystems and insect evolution.
