Dominican amber from the La Cumbre Mine, from the Cordillera Septentrional. Most pieces range from 5-10g in weight, with at least one containing a large two-phase inclusion (enhydro). Material from this mine frequently presents exterior crusts/aggregates of pyrite (iron sulfide); these were likely formed in a reducing, marine/lacustrine environment, where marine sediments, organic detritus, volcanic material (i.e., ash), and sulfate-reducing bacteria helped to provide the sulfides and iron needed.
