Good Morning!: I’ve reviewed you on-line site information concerning fossil appraisal and I’d like some additional information as to cost based on the information I’m able to provide you. Bottom line is I have a piece of amber that holds a completely preserved scorpion from several million years ago or so I was told by a geology professor who gave it to me years ago as a gift. I’m attempting to determine its value if that’s even possible and would be interested in selling it to someone with this particular kind of interest. The piece is relatively small in size and measures 3½ inches tall by 1 ½ inches in thickness. I’ve been told that this is an extremely rare piece that may have considerable value, so I’m looking for a professional appraisal and, ultimately, some type of authenticity documentation. I took it to a local rocks and gems dealer and he has no doubt as to its authenticity (real amber) but couldn’t provide me with a value other than to suggest it was worth a considerable amount of money “to the right collector”. Price would be dependent on the buyer’s willingness to have the piece since there are no hard-n-fast market similarities. The individual I received it from is, again, was a professor at the University of Northern Arizona in Flagstaff Arizona and is most likely deceased. That was over seven years ago and I don’t even recall his name. I have no idea as to where the piece originated from and actually know very little about it. I’ve attached a couple of pictures of the piece I’ve described. I appreciate your time. Thanks!! Jim Brown 2841 E. San Tan Street Chandler, AZ. 85225 Cell 623-980-9682
