It too, is the oldest amber in the world, approximately 110 million years old. The colour when held up to the light is a deep rich honey colour. This amber is reported to come from the conifer (Brachyphllum)(Araucariaceae). The amber piece was found in 1971 after rough seas battered the cliffs. It has resided ever since in the late GORDON WALKDEN collection. An important piece for the collector. Amber is fossilised tree resin which exudes after the tree has been damaged.
