My first borneo resinite or amber collection

Sarawak copal from Lambir, Miri, Sarawak

Borneo resinite is any amber or copal that are found in Borneo Island. Borneo shared by three countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei. The states in Malaysian Borneo are Sarawak and Sabah. The state in Indonesian Borneo is Kalimantan. These two countries are the important borneo resinite sources.
The most famous Borneo amber is Sarawak amber from Merit-Pila Coal Mine, Sarawak, Malaysia. Actually there are several amber and copal that can be found in Borneo. I have collected several polished pieces of borneo resinite from different location. The resinites I have are from Merit-Pila, Sarawak, Lambir, Sarawak, Sebako, Sarawak, Song, Sarawak, Buis-Kiabau, Sabah, Kg Abai, Sabah, Lahad Datu, Sabah and the Indonesian amber from Tarakan, East Kalimantan.
