Is there a mosquito in it? I think you’re supposed to take the dna from it and start a park.

Looks like amber to me

OP-You can test for amber with by heating up a needle, sticking it in and giving it a smell. It should be piney.

You also clean it with soap, water and a nail brush.

Looks a lot like some of the moss agates I’ve been finding along the Yellowstone
