That is so cool. Did you buy it?
THIRTY BUCKS !!
I would have paid a lot more than that. Could have fished that fly forever without beating it up.

No. It was already sold when I looked at it. I was surprised it sold for 30 bucks! I haven't done it, but Google "Amber Fossils" and see what you come up with.Quote:

Very good seller!
Hi Nighthawk: I didn't find any on that site that contain insects. Am I looking in the wrong place?
Looks like he is out of stock for now. You might want to contact him or keep watching his site.Quote:
