The Mexican state of Chiapas is rich in deposits of 23-33 million year amber. This deposit is valued for its well preserved inclusions and for its popularity in jewelry and carvings. Chase Jennings will give a presentation about his mining operations in Chiapas, the properties that make this Amber unique (for instance, phosphorescence), rare inclusions found at the mines (see a butterfly, dragonfly, and other museum grade specimens), and general information over the region and its indigenous people. Attendees will see videos and photos from the mines, raw amber, amber in-situ, and a vast array of rare specimens at this special presentation.
