- Gaze within the beautiful Gem Amber of the Baltic Sea to discover fossil insects, mystery finds, and the incredible hidden worlds of the amber's secret gardens. Some of the amazing inclusions are viewable by the naked eye, but with the aid of a microscope and some wonderful photography, we can peer deep into time standing still from about 40 to 50 million years ago!

Amber wasn't a big deal to me until I stumbled across Jarek and Amberscape, now I think it's so fascinating. Thanks for taking me on the tour of the hidden world inside your amber.
We had Jarek on the Rockhound Podcast with us and he was an incredible guest. His videos, hunts, polishing, photography techniques, everything is so interesting. He does a great job, it was really incredible to get the amber from him and be able to play with some under the microscope. You're entered in the upcoming giveaway, thanks for watching and good luck!
How amazing and beautiful! I have a whole new appreciation for amber! Awesome video!
Thank you, the amber is really incredible. You were entered in the giveaway, just so you know. Thanks again for watching and rock on!
What a fantastic video 😍
Amber is beautiful, with or without bugs!!!
But how I love the bugs!
Thanks so much for the incredible views inside
Glad you enjoyed it! You're so right, the amber is amazing with or without the bugs. It's got such a warmth and it seriously glows with the sunshine. The fact there are fossils in them just is a slam dunk of coolness. Thanks for watching, you're entered in the giveaway, and good luck!
That was awesome Karen. Looking at all those closeups was way cool. Had to laugh at the suspended ‘poo’ in amber 🤣. Can’t wait for the next part.
Thank you! And it's just not a good fossil video without some coprolite 😂. I'll try to get part two in the can soon, meanwhile you're entered in the giveaway. Thanks for watching and good luck!
Absolutely fascinating, I will never look at amber the same way again. You opened my eyes and curiosity about amber. That was awsome.
That Amber just kept getting better and better! I've got more pieces and a few I know have bugs for sure! It'll be fun to get into it more, learn more, and share more with you. Thanks again for watching!
Just had to go watch this again. So EPIC! Really interesting and beautifully done. Can't wait for part 2.
Thanks for watching (and rewatching 😂). The amber is so neat it seems to be infectious with appeal. Thanks for the positive feedback, number two is in the works, just need to polish up more of this lovely stuff. You're entered in the giveaway and thanks again for watching!
I love the depth of your videos.
We should chat sometime about microscopes, focus stacking and post processing.
Absolutely need to chat over the microscopes and the photography/stacking/processing. I would love to hear your thoughts and techniques. I appreciate the feedback as well, it's hard not to want to dive in deep, right?! You're entered in this giveaway coming up and we should chat soon. Thanks for watching and cheers!
Cannot wait to see the amber video. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching, it's a pleasure to share this incredible stuff! You're entered in the giveaway too, good luck!
Wow! You found some amazing critters! I would love to hunt for some amber at the Baltic Sea! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! When we had Jarek on the podcast, we all decided we needed a Rockhound Podcast field trip to the Baltic Sea to search for amber. What a bucket list thing! The amber, insects, and other inclusions are just mind blowing. You're entered in the giveaway, good luck, and thanks again for watching!
I had a beautiful amber ring and the amber fell out! I was so sad! This amber you showed was fantastic!! Can’t wait for part 2!
Oh no! That's awful that you lost your amber. I feel for you, the stuff is so wonderful! The amber Jarek sent me is really incredible, can't thank him enough. Those rough pieces in the video need to be polished and hopefully there's more goodies in there for part 2 (spoiler; there are cheater pieces that for sure have fun inside 😁). You're entered in the giveaway, good luck, and thanks for watching!
This was like an fascinating exhibit at a museum, Wow! I love your narration, thank you so much for sharing this 😊❤️
Thank you so much, you say the nicest things! You're entered in the upcoming giveaway so good luck and as always, thanks for watching!
@@OzoneFineArtVentures awesome! Thank you😊❤️
Wow! Blown away! What an amazing video.🤯 Such beautiful specimens. Thank you for sharing this Karen!✌🤠
Thank you, Kyla! It's such a pleasure to share these incredible gifts. Jarek was so generous sending me pieces that have such great inclusions and they're so pretty even without the added bonus of insects and gardens! Thanks again for watching, you're entered in the giveaway, good luck!
@@OzoneFineArtVentures definitely, I love amber! Yes, he send you so many beautiful pieces. I appreciate what you do, you are truly an artist. Thanks!😊
Karen, that was mitey interesting! I loved the close up details! Whole worlds to discover in those micro views, forever amber!
LOL, Mark, 'mitey' interesting indeed. So many of those critters! It's hard not to dive into the micro worlds in these amber chunks for days on end. That's definitely why there's a part two coming, so much to see up close and personal! Thanks for watching and you're entered in the giveaway, good luck!
Never thought of Amber to much, but you peaked my interest. I loved the twig one.
The amber does fly under the radar if it's not something you can find in your area or you don't have access to it. At a Tucson Gem Show, I fell in love with it, the gems were gorgeous but the fossils were the slam dunk. Two great tastes that taste great together 🤣. It's worth looking into if you get a chance. Meanwhile, you're entered in the upcoming giveaway, good luck, and thanks for watching!
Congratulations on 1.5 K !!! Thanks for taking us along and sharing your knowledge!! That amber is so cool with all that stuff that got stuck in it !!
Keep rockin!!👍😎
Thank you! It's been such a fun adventure getting this far and it's a blast bringing you along with! The amber has me so enamored, I'll be surprised if there's only a part 2 😂. Thanks for watching and you're entered in the upcoming giveaway!
ohh a collab with Jarek! sweet! this is gonna be awesome sauce!
He was so generous to send amber that he knew had good bugs in it. It's been amazing uncovering them and discovering all that's inside. Of course, you're entered in the giveaway!
That was a short wait for the amber video. That was amazing how you put so much information.in your videos. You make your videos so interesting. THANKS!
Glad you didn't have to wait to long 😂. The Amber is so interesting, the video couldn't help but end up that way. The research for this was a blast and that's definitely why there's a part two coming, that and there are more bugs in the pieces of amber I received! Thank you so much for the awesome feedback. You're entered in the giveaway, good luck, and thanks again for watching!
Crazy awesome! Love the details in that when you look up close! Great stuff!!!🤘
Glad you liked it!! It's crazy how cool the worlds are inside those amber chunks. You're entered in the giveaway, thanks for watching!
Congrats on 1.5K! This video has definitely caught my interest! Amazing!!
Thank so much, Sarah! Who knew amber would be as fun as the fossils we can find here? Well almost. You're entered in the upcoming giveaway so good luck and hope you're having good hunts as well!
Gotta love amber!
Heck yeah! It's so beautiful and chock full of cool things! Thanks for watching and you're entered in the upcoming giveaway, good luck!
Very cool stuf, I love the microscope views.
Thank you. It's really crazy how much more you see even at 40x. Thanks for watching and you're entered in the giveaway!
So beautiful! 🤩
Thank you, Jackie! Just so you know, you were entered in the giveaway for all the videos you watching, I just didn't comment back to you before the giveaway. Just wanted to let you know that you made it in! Thanks again for watching!
Wow, how beautiful crazy! This is the coolest video I think I've seen regarding rocks. Something about history is so fascinating to me! OMG, plus I learned so much! Wow, have to watch this again! Thanks Karen, seriously.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks to Jarek's generosity! The fact that these gems polish up to have 45-50 million year old fossils in them, make them a total favorite! They smell so good when you work them too, like incense. Thanks for watching and you were entered in the giveaway a bunch, even though it's passed now. Just thought I'd let you know. Cheers!
Absolutely awesome, had to watch again. The dialogue is great easy to listen to and easy to understand. Keep this up and you'll be doing documentarys soon for the discovery channel. Come on part 2. Thx for sharing, stay safe and rock on.✌👍
Thanks so much, Claude! This is something I enjoy doing so much that would be a total dream gig! Meanwhile, I'll concentrate on part two (the best hunk of amber, I saved for the next one!). Thanks for watching and you're entered in the giveaway, good luck!
Phenomenal video Karen. Loved every second of it. Looking at critters, flora and poop frozen in time for millions of years…what is not to like. WOW. Thanks for posting and so looking forward to part 2.
It's just not a great fossil video without the poop 😂. Thanks for watching, you're entered in the giveaway, and part two will hopefully be coming soon!
Very cool, amber is such a fascinating material!
Amber really is fascinating. It's been so cool to have the experience of getting a more intimate view. Thanks for watching and you're entered in the giveaway!
This is absolutely awesome 🤩
Jarek’s, channel is fabulous, also!
I adore Amber. It’s so fascinating. The only amber I have is a tiny bit of chips 😩. Saving it for an inlay ring. You were so lucky to have chunks to look at and work with. Your explanation is outstanding!
Just love listening to your channel. You should be paid to make them for schools. It’s perfection 🥰
Thank you so much for sharing ❤️.
I’m looking forward to part 2!
Stay Crystal 💫
Mari
Thanks Maribeth! I was so floored when Jarek sent me a package, it was so generous. Then to discover the bugs inside made my mind explode. It was beyond fun smelling the sweet resin as you polish only to find the almost 50 million year old inhabitants patiently waiting inside! I hope you can get your hands on some more. You're so kind with your compliments, I really wish I could get paid to do cool videos for schools and such too. Dream job! Thanks again for watching and you're entered in the giveaway (again I'm sure).
Nice video!!
Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you! Cheers! And you're entered in the giveaway, good luck!
I know I’m going to love this channel, you have re-awakened my inner nerd! 😄🤓
Thank you so much for the enthusiasm, hope to provide you with much entertainment to come. These rocks are amazing, hard to not arouse the inner nerds in us all! You are also entered in our upcoming viewer appreciation giveaway so keep an eye out for details coming soon! Thanks for watching and good luck!
@@OzoneFineArtVentures thank you!
That was incredible! Can't put into words how fantastic and enjoyable that video was! I have a few channels among my favorites and yours is one of them. What makes your channel so great to me and separates yourself from others is the great dialog. Thanks for sharing the great video 😊👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Your words are so very kind, the feedback is very appreciated. It definitely helps keep the fire burning and the channel going! You're entered in the giveaway, good luck and thanks so much for watching!
Nice amber from Amberscape 😃
Right?! This amber is amazing, just the one piece was overly generous and there's more to come from the box Jarek sent me. Thanks for watching and you're entered in the giveaway! PS. A certain fire agate video will be coming up soon granted I don't screw things up 🤣, thanks for your generosity as well! Cheers!
Awesome presentation!
Talk about hectic research. Well done **********3/25
Many many thanks, that did take a bit for the research and photography but so worth it! The amber is so interesting I'd be doing the research regardless of the video 😂. Thanks for watching and you're entered in the giveaway!
That was sooo cool you found so many fascinating bugs and stuff to look at. It would be cool if you were to paint 🎨 🖌some of the images you captured.
The one at 0:42.. we think it looks like a tiny cocoon? Thanks for sharing. You did a beautiful job making this video. 🤘😜🤩
Wow, a painting! That is a cool idea! I agree about the cocoon thingy, maybe egg pod-ish with insect already developing...so fascinating! Thanks for your wonderful feedback and for watching. You're entered in the upcoming giveaway (of course), good luck!
So cool!!
Thank you! You're entered in the giveaway, good luck, and thanks for watching!
oh wow that was an interesting watch!:)), editing was and point, and you've put so much research into this one video! magnificent job!
None of this at all possible without your generous box! It was a humbling experience working with the few pieces I worked into this video, there's so much to learn. The specimens are drop dead gorgeous even without inclusions! You know there's the big, juicy hunk to work with, the photography is a huge learning curve so I saved that for the next one. Thankfully you have awesome videos covering that as well. Thanks again for your overwhelming generosity and making such great videos to learn from. You're entered in the giveaway too, wouldn't that be funny if you won it?! 🤣 Cheers!
@@OzoneFineArtVentures it makes me happy that you like working with amber! And yea photography was also a skill i was able to acquire working with amber, im still learning every day how to make better pictures😁. And whaat giveaway did i enter? Have i missed something?😁
Very informative content
Glad you liked it! You were entered in the giveaway for your views of this and the other videos even though I didn't write back to the comment in time for the video, just wanted to let you know your name was in there! Thanks again for watching, cheers!
Love your videos 💝💝🌹🌹🌹👍👍👍
Thanks so much 😊
Waow Amajing
Thank you!
would refractol help? or does it even work on amber, I'm not sure.
4:15 wow! What a piece!
All very cool! Looking forward to part 2!
Interesting thought! It may help before getting into the amber for polishing, I've got some wintergreen oil (similar enough, it's used as refractol for sunstone assessment) I'll give it a try. After you polish the amber, it's got it's own incredible clarity that helps the viewing and photography. The piece at 4:15 was thin, heavily coated with rind, and looked like it wouldn't even be good for 'gem' amber (being so cloudy). It turns out to have that perfect thin section of wood AND the wiggly, worm-like fungi, that's what made it cloudy! Just when you think you have a dud, it turns out to be the coolest! Thanks for watching and you're entered in the giveaway, good luck!
Super cool video! Is amber found here on our coast?
Thank you. I don't believe we have any amber on the coast though I could be wrong. This amber was from fellow TH-camr and friend, Jarek, from Amberscape. Wouldn't it be amazing if we could fish for amber too, like the do in the Baltic?! Thanks for watching and you're entered in the upcoming giveaway. Cheers!
Great job thanks
Thanks for watching, Scott! Entered again in the giveaway, good luck!
❤️🤟 very well made video madame 🤩
Thanks a lot 😊, always a pleasure to work with such lovely things! You're entered in the giveaway, good luck, and thanks for watching!
I think that was the sabre-tooth fruit fly, believed to mainly subsist on elderberries. While large, their wings were unable to sustain long periods of flight, so they formed a symbiotic relationship with an early ancestor of the hamster, Montycleese monesi. In seriousness, is it possible the UFO (unidentified fossilized object) is the fruiting body of a moss?
Lol, Ken! Indeed, I've been hoping to find the sabre toothed fruit fly! I'd love to see one riding its hamster to get around 😂. I love the idea of the fruiting moss. I think you're bang on, that structure has a familiar feeling. I need to pursue that plant direction and do more research. Thanks again for watching!
Did part 2 ever come out i didnt see it🤞 ps thank you for sharing
Not yet! It should be coming soon as the weather turns to inside work, lol. Thanks for watching, keep your eyes out for more great bugs!
i have blue resin fossilized
I luv bugs even better in amber rescued a wasp from a neighboring classroom the other day
That's awesome! I'd totally do the same. At one point in time, I was sure I was going to become an entomological illustrator, that's how much I love them bugs. This Amber is a few of my passions rolled into one (fossils, bugs, gems, cutting/polishing, science, microscopy, etc!). When you work the amber, it smells like incense, that's the cherry on the sunday, lol. Thanks for watching!
Suprise!
So many surprises in there. And more to discover, the twig specimen isn't even fully polished yet. There's that whole handful of amber to go as well. Many more surprises to come for part two and who knows how many more 😂. You're all entered up in the giveaway, good luck!
6:08 It looks to me like the gaster and post petiole of some Myrmicinae *gen.* ant or another.
Just my ¢2.
Thank you for that information, I will look into that. Cheers and thanks for watching.
Hi , just curious. Did you give away the amber to a winner yet?
Hey, haven't finished the giveaway yet and it's not specifically amber. It's a grab box with rocks from past adventures, cuts and even a polish or two. Good luck, you're entered!
i have a real blue resin tree fossilized with termite fossil
Nice! The amber fossils are so cool. Thanks for for watching!
When I die… bury me at sea in a lead lined coffin filled with pine tar… 😆
🤣 Perfectly preserved Dustin clutching a huge chunk of Missouri Druzy to be discovered millions of years from now 😆. Thanks for watching and you're entered in the giveaway, good luck!
@@OzoneFineArtVentures I knew you would respect my final wishes LOL
Hi Karen, please enter me for the giveaway. Thanks.
Thank you, Paul. You're entered, good luck!
