Hello everybody,

?

I have recently obtained several specimens of Cretaceous amber from the United Kingdom.? This amber comes from the Hastings?fossil beds of Sussex, England.? It dates from approximately?140 million years ago.? My understanding is that this amber is extremely rare.? If there are fossil inclusions in these pieces, they may very well be new to science.

?

I have in my possession 3 amber nuggets of 1.3 cm, 1.5 cm, and 1.8 cm, as well as several smaller amber pieces.? Color ranges from a cocoa brown to more yellow colors, and one specimen is red, at least its oxidized coating is red.? The smaller pieces are clear, but the nuggets are opaque.? 

?

I am excited about these specimens due to their rarity and possible inclusions.? 

?

But even more exciting is this:

?

My contact has asked me to act as?the agent for a incredible specimen he has for sale.? It is also from the same Hastings locality.? It measures 3.0 inches X 2.4 inches X 0.7 inches at its longest dimensions.? Weighs about 50 grams.? It is unique.?For this type of amber a specimen of this size is extremely rare.

?

The price is $2000.00 USD. or best offer.? If anyone is interested, I would suggest you contact me immediately, dont hesitate.? The price is negotiable within reason.

?

Photos are attached herein.

?

Thanks!

?

Adam Spiegel?
