15 million years old...
A cool pic of my TT YM and a piece of Borneo Amber.
I collect old stuff  . This piece looked like a chunk of rough coal before I started polishing it. Start with 200 grit and get down to crocus cloth and wet snading. Fininshed with a soft cloth and turtle wax car polish. Of course as soon as I took the photo I knocked my coffee over on my desk...

Gets a Thumbs Up from me!
Excellent piece.  Do you ever use a tumbler for smaller pieces?
