Amber from Chiapas, Mexico, is really special and super old, dating back about 23 to 30 million years! It's made from the fossilised resin of a huge tree called Hymenaea Mexicana, which doesn't exist anymore. The coolest part? Inside this amber, you can often find tiny fossils of plants and animals, like a natural time capsule showing us what life was like millions of years ago. So, this Mexican amber isn't just pretty to look at, it's like holding a piece of ancient history in your hands! It is important as it provides scientists with a glimpse of a world millions of years old.
