Very nice specimen!

Wow, what's the estimated size, is that your thumb in one of the pictures? What kind of camera/focus stacking freeware did you use to get those pictures?

I can never figure out how to get decent pictures of things that small..

What a fantastic inclusion! You don't see something like that every day! Can you please tell me what those little spidery-like objects are on the left? You see them quite often in Amber. Are they plant material/pollen/seeds?

Thank you very much for great comments my friends

I am using normal gear,nothing very expensive - lights are very important - sometimes i spent hour for good pictures !
It is stereo microscope and canon photocamera fusion + illuminator with halogen lights and combine ZP progam for focus stacking.

Dear Ludwigia - botanical inclusions are more rare than insects but yes, sometimes i catch something amazing.

For example i paste rare moss/ Bryophyta pictures

[Ludwigia]

Then what are those things I was asking about?

Ludwigia - sorry i forgot about your question.

These are Stellate Hairs from Oak flower. Very characteristic for Baltic Ambers,
