I'm interested in acquiring a pendant in amber, preferably with an
inclusion.

This eBay ad looks like it's a fake to me. The fact that it's close up and
you can't see the whole piece just seems fishy, as does the attitude of the
insect.

Can anybody here comment?

The attitude of the insect? Well, what kind of attitude would YOU have if you were trapped in
amber?

I would be reluctant to trust a seller with such a low feedback rating myself.
