| Huge 3" x 1.5" Baltic Amber Fossil with numerous insects. Baltic amber is mineral resin the age, of which is estimated on 40-50 million years. Originally it was thought that the resin-forming tree was the pine Pinus succinifera. At present the opinion, that the resin was given off by several sorts of the conifers at prevailling participation of one of them, becomes more and more general. Amber-resin-giving forests covered the area of today's Scandinavia and of the Baltic sea. From there resin was transported by a river, the mouth of which was situated oposit today's sea-coasts of the Baltic and gradually changed into amber. The greatest ledges of amber are situated along the coast from Ch³apów to Sambian Peninsula. However it is not its only place of occurance. In the period of glaciation secondary deposits of amber dispersed all over Poland come into being. | ||
