I love amber! It is easy to work with and the colours are spectacular!
When polishing this piece of amber, I suddenly noticed a dark spot. It turned out to be some kind of insect, which was unfortunate enough to get stuck in a sticky spot some years back…
I bought this piece of amber from my regular dealer on the Danish west coast. He checks all the amber before selling it, as he collects the pieces with insects in them. Well, he sure missed this one!
I googled this sci-fi looking creature and I’m fairly sure that what we have here is a cicada larvae. But it doesn’t matter what kind of species Ambrosio is. He’s ours and we’re not selling (in case you were wondering!)
