🔮 Copal Amber: Solar Resin

💛 Solar Plexus Chakra

Time Capsule is a masterwork of preservation, a slender wand of golden Copal Amber that holds within it the subtle traces of an ancient world. Its elongated form captures fragments of life and environment frozen together, creating a natural archive of organic memory.

Scattered through its clear honey-gold body are faint inclusions of mosquito-like insects, a large fly, some ants, and the delicate imprint of a leaf stalk, each detail preserved with remarkable clarity. These inclusions tell a story of life in motion, halted mid-air as resin flowed through prehistoric forests and sealed the moment forever.

Over thousands of years, that resin underwent polymerisation, transforming into Copal, a transitional amber that bridges the living and the fossilised. Every inclusion within Time Capsule represents a precise chemical miracle: oxygen exclusion, molecular hardening, and the slow crystallisation of time itself.

The surface glows with deep, transparent warmth, while subtle internal textures reveal faint currents of flow from when the resin was still soft. It is a study in movement and stillness, translucence and depth, a scientific relic sculpted by nature’s own hand.

For collectors, Time Capsule embodies what makes Copal Amber so captivating: the preservation of life, the perfection of form, and the visible connection between past and present. A beautiful specimen that quite literally holds history in its light.

🌀 Fossils

Fossils are life forms of either plants or animals that have been captured within an impression and preserved usually within the sedimentary rocks. Another type of fossil is resin fossilization where insects and plants are embedded within amber.

Most fossils are just casings or cavities of what was, and the soft parts of the animals and plants are rarely preserved due to certain salts and minerals breaking down the organic matter within.

Now another type of fossil can be completely replaced by an imprint or impression of the original shell, animal or plant within sedimentary rock or hard rock such as petrified wood.

Lastly a process called mineralization, is where an entire cavity can be completely replaced meaning if it was a shell, it would have completely dissolved. Through this process certain acids and solutions penetrate the cavity and form a new matrix within the cavity creating a 3D version of the shell itself.
