Unknown Amber Scorpion Inclusion Pendant Necklace - Unisex, Birthday Gift, Antique Crafts Enthusiasts

Great little item just as described

Disappointing. Took a long time to arrive, poor finish (lumpy resin). Not worth buying

I can see this is fake and not amber. I wish it was real amber, I would be paying a lot more. The scorpion 🦂 looks real. Nice ornament.

I already knew that it wouldn't be real Baltic amber as i've purchased the genuine amber before and it's really, really expensive, more so when you have an inclusion even as small as a gnat. I intended mounting this in a nice piece of wood that would be shaped to be used as a gear knob for the car, this was scuppered when the item came as it has a hole drilled through the top (narrow end) supposedly for attaching it to a necklace or for hanging up.....so i'll have to cut and reshape this area and then polish it up a bit ( this could prove harder than anticipated as the item is just plastic) The plastic itself is fairly clear so the inclusion shows quite well, there are a few little areas of trapped air which do not take away from the overall effect. It has a decent overall amber colouring (which in fact makes it look even more "fake" as true amber is a collection of different colours, densities and textures. There seems to be some extra little bits of red (ish) coloured material (could be just dye smears) included .... possibly to give the impression of realism ... it looks "sort of OK" ... but still doesn't make it look any more realistic in my opinion. For three quid it's worth it to be honest ... ideal as a little paperweight, or you can use the drilled hole to hang it somewhere where it'll catch the light (could look effective) IMPORTANT BIT: The scorpion in this particular bit of amber coloured plastic is real (as a 45 year experienced amateur taxonomist i can take an educational guess at "Mesobuthus" genus .... possibly species "martensii" ..... or the Chinese Golden scorpion to give it a simple common name). The specimen in my plastic looks to be an adult male. So, even though this particular scorpion genus is generally common and widespread, If conservation and/or animal rights etc is of a concern to you then this item isn't for you.

This is made of acrylic/ resin not Amber.

Not expensive and not overwelming

Happy

Realistic, arrives as paper weight small , not big as picture but if collecting I recommend still getting one of scorpion here , value money interesting piece. Quality great

Nettes Geschenk.

pendantif avec un très beau scorpion pris dans de l'ambre.

Come lo aspettavo.

Das ist definitiv kein Bernstein! Ein vertrockneter Skorpion in einem Kunstharz eingegossen. Man hat sich noch nicht einmal die Mühe gemacht und den Stein (?) das Gebilde komplett in gelbes Harz zu gießen , ich habe es langsam echt satt das hier auf Amazon jede Menge Fälschungen kursieren .

Idea regalo interessante.. lo consiglio
