I would love to see the pictures of the scans, wouldn't you? I love amber and have several pieces of it either as Jewelry or as samples - Don't have an example of the most precious kind, though, ie. visible bugs.

I believe in keeping an open critical mind - a real open mind waits for real data before making an assumption.
