Large Copal with Numerous Insects - Superb Detail + Eye Glass Jewellers Loupe

 Large piece of natural Copal a whole eco system of numerous tiny  insects  that  have by chance become trapped in tree resin many thousands  of years ago; ants, mosquito,flying beetles, 6 or 7 tiny spiders, moths x 2, un-winged beetles, plant material and a larger flying insect. There is also a tick.Over time, the resin transforms to the beautiful  honey coloured substance we know as copal .The insects  have  literally been stopped in their  tracks, allowing us to glimpse a moment in time, literally thousands of years ago. A great educational tool or gift for the junior fossil enthusiast. This is one of best copal specimens I have ever been able to get as it contains so many different insect types. Hard to capture them all in the pictures, but an eye magnifying glass Jewellers Loupe  is included to help see the tiny insects which are otherwise  quite hard to see  properly with the naked eye. Copal is 10.5 x 8 cm depth 3.5 cm
