“Samples of amber weighing more than 1,000 kg are rare natural formations. The largest sample of amber, weighing 9.7 kg, is in the Museum of Natural History in Berlin (“Museum of Naturkunde”). Specimens weighing more than 5 kg are extremely rare. According to official data, in the whole world, there are only a few specimens of this weight and they are in museums and private collections”, said Yurii Blagodyr General director of Sun-Craft Centre LLC.

The unique find was studied by experts of the State Gemological Center of Ukraine, who confirmed its uniqueness. According to research, this sample is amber – succinite.

It can be found in the Baltic-Dnipro amber sub-province, which covers almost all of Poland, the Kaliningrad region of Russia, Lithuania, Latvia, south and southwest Belarus and most of Right Bank Ukraine,” said Olena Belichenko, Head of the Precious Stones Examination Department of the State Gemological Center of Ukraine, Candidate of Geological Sciences, and Expert of the International Amber Association.
