This is the biggest piece of rare Borneo amber that I have ever offered.. This piece weighs an astounding 729 grams. It is rough, unpolished, and has not been searched for inclusions. When this piece is polished, you never know what you might get lucky and find - maybe some plant matter, maybe an insect, who knows? Borneo amber is a rarely-seen variety of amber that is increasingly difficult to acquire. This particular piece comes from an old collection.
Pieces of amber this size are increasingly difficult to acquire and they fetch a premium price on the market. I received a great deal on this piece, so I can offer it at a very low $2 per gram. A huge specimen like this could be cut down and fashioned into numerous gemstones or carvings for a large profit.
Borneo amber originates from (Sarawak, Malaysia). It is found in irregular blobs which are embedded in coal seams. Most Borneo amber comes from the Miocene-epoch deposits at the Merit Pila open-pit coal mine. Borneo amber is known as a solid amber that is very good for polishing.
