Copal
Copal is a type of fossilized tree resin, often called young amber, valued in the minerals and fossils category for its clarity, color, and occasional inclusions like insects.
Fun Fact
Unlike true amber which is 20-40 million years old, copal is typically only thousands to a few million years old, making it a 'fossil in progress'.
