Hello All! I figured I'd share a few pieces of my collection. I have over 800 so far and have been collecting over 23 years. I hope you enjoy them! Brian

Can't wait to see the rest of your collection. :)

The very nice images certainly provide the viewer with an excellent glimpse into your collection. I look forward to seeing more.

Thanks Friends! Yes, I have a whole shop behind my home dedicated to polishing amber. I've been cutting and polishing amber rough for about 20 years. :)

Good Morning! I was up until late at night finishing this piece. A swarm of 20+ Cretaceous Termites. They're literally stacked on each other! ;)825.thumb.jpg.3f047a085f098e9d8989b2120daf0d9b.jpg825b.jpg.b590d4bc22a3a3be1b5c599feec6244b.jpg825d.thumb.jpg.a8c2c98c2324e49ba877f803e5c677ae.jpg

What a mite problem quite a few of these had! 

Lovely pieces, beautifully photographed, thanks so much for sharing. :)

23 years?  But Myanmar was a military dictatorship until recently.   How did you collect burmite at that time.

I've polished Dominican and Baltic amber for many years...not just Burmite. ;)

How many lizards do you have?

None currently...I sold the one I had to a Collector friend of mine. But I do find Reptilian scales on occasion.
