Burmite is among the oldest and most scientifically significant ambers in the world, originating from the mid-Cretaceous period (~99–100 million years ago). These specimens were unearthed in the Hukawng Valley, a renowned paleontological site known for hosting exceptionally preserved extinct life forms, including insects, arachnids, and plant matter. Consider to support our Kachin State with such an acquisition.
Each piece retains its natural outer skin, a weathered rind that forms as the amber fossilizes. Not all pieces are entirely covered by the outer skin, please refer to the images. This skin is crucial to scientific validation—within it lie zircon crystals that enable radiometric dating, confirming Burmite’s Cretaceous age. From the window of the stones we can there is indeed extinct paleobiota entombed inside this Rough Burmite Amber parcel!
Enrich your collection with genuine Burmese Burmite—each piece a fossilized remnant of a vanished world.
