From my own collection - I purchased this piece from a friend who owned the mine in Poland. Her and her brother were the only dealers I dealt with for 10 years. Late 80's.  In the early 90's synthetic amber started creeping into the market from many sources.  I never bought amber from anyone else past the mid 90's.  This piece is a large piece.  It weighs 14 grams. There is one larger bug on one side and a small bug on the other. The amber is gorgeous and clear with the exception of the bugs. I tried to capture the insides of the resin best I could. A large majority of the amber you see today is flaky and fractured and most have Lucite blended in.  
 
The silver wings have a frosted stripe on each wing.  I did polish this one up a bit - I wanted to make sure it could polish up after all this time. It measures 1 3/4" long nose to butt and the same wide.  Sitting on the table it's 1" tall. It is of course the only piece I have. I hope you have enjoyed viewing this one.
