I buy allot of Blue amber from Indonesia all in rough. Was going through my last batch and found a good sized inclusion that seems to look like a mushroom cap. Who would I even take this to get checked out? What do you guys think it is? Hard to get good pics

Looks like a treasure trove of oddities in there. Agree pictures are not the best. Would love to see them if you can get them captured. Can not help on your queries about amber.

Another recent article about blue amber

I've never seen any documentation of inclusions in blue amber. Only about color grading. The blue amber I've seen at Tucson are small and clean, ready to be used in jewelry. Not any piece that big.
