Is this Miocene-Oligocene amber, or more recent copal?

@Amber Man, I posted an article recently about blue amber found in the Dominican Rep.  Have you seen any of that with insect inclusions?

Hi Walt! No...that comes from a completely different mine. However a few poor quality Botanicals have been found in the Blue material. :)

Thanks, I rather thought so, but wanted it out there for the benefit of the entire readership.

Ever see any Dominican with feathers/fragments thereof?
