 Tick,
good visibility but side placement in clear thumbnail size amber. Not suitable
for jewelry due to placement. Ticks are very very very rare. This is the
first one we have found in 30 years! Any inclusion that indicates mammalian
life such as ticks, mites, lice and hair are highly valued for a collector.
The price is quite a bargain in tickworld.Only $800   |

Hersiliidae, or "tree trunk spider". A rare find in amber!!! The
piece is a two inch long domed golden amber with spider prominantly displayed.
We are offering this exceptional collector specimen at an exceptional price.
Wikipedia tells
us that there are about 150 species in this family, also sometimes
known as "two-tailed spiders." They range in size from about 10 mm (0.4
inch) to 18 mm (0.7 inch) long. Rather than making a web that captures
prey directly, they lay a light coating of threads over an area of tree
bark and wait hidden in plain sight for an insect to stray onto that patch.
Once that occurs, they direct their spinnerets toward their prey and circle
it all the while casting silk on it. To the right is a hersiliidae from
India. S O L D !!! |
