Amber is fossilized tree resin. That tree resin encases anything in it's path in a beautiful piece of amber. Our amber with inclusions feature bits of organic matter, along with insects perfectly preserved as a specimen from millions of years ago...

Collectible Amber, Insect Inclusions

Sometimes pieces of amber have what are called inclusions in them. Inclusions refer to the bits of organic material, such as twigs, leaves or, often, insects that were trapped in resin by the flowing tree sap millions and millions years ago. These objects are perfectly preserved in their lustrous prison, and they have provided a window to the past for the scientists and amber-lovers alike. The inclusions only add to the infinite variety that characterizes amber.

Today amber continues to fascinate and intrigue everyone who gets in contact with it. In order to make an amber adornment, each piece is individually hand-carved and polished to bring out its inherent beauty, and fashioned into unique jewelry. No two pieces that we sell here at The Russian Store are exactly alike.

Our collection of loose amber stones feature several pieces with insect inclusions. Some come complete with a box and magnifying glass making them exceptional gifts. We also have insect inclusion amber jewelry, which is extremely rare and hard to keep in stock. Please check back often, or feel free to contact us and stay informed!
