Millipede Plus Other Strange Insects in Burmite Amber. The 100 million year old amber from Myanmar (Burma), known as Burmite amber, is the most valuable amber because of its age and clarity. This valuable amber is a picture of insect life in the time of the dinosaurs. This large, mostly clear, honey-colored amber is 46x28x12 mm and features a complete millipede that is 6 mm in length, as well as other strange looking insects. A lot of the insects look a little different from the insects today because even insects have been evolving over the last 100 million years. Presented in 8x6 inch Riker mount with an enlarged photo of the millipede. Estimate Value $350 - UP
