Hard to say without testing it. I bought it on E Bay for around 15 dollars, it was described as 147 gr Indonesian Natural Amber Rough Specimen Raw Stone Gemstone. I was shocked when I was looking at it under the microscope - at first I thought it was a stick, but as you moved the lighting around I started to wonder, so I cleaned that section really well, was very surprised how close it was to the surface. It would be hard to believe that it is Amber, but who knows how old she is?

I could definitely see this making an appearance in a horror movie - very eerie & surreal...

Amazing macro! Interesting trapped waspish thing. May I recommend you send photo to an (Paleo) entomologist at a University near you, as it may be of some value to help expand the "K-nowldeges" of our animal world.

Hi Kinchie, I passed on the image (a higher res one) to Texas A&M department of entomology to see if they have any interest in or knowledge of such a creature! We will see what they say.
