Looks like fosil honey but I now
that honey can stay 2000 years good for using.
Maybe it is something else and have proper name like
coprolite or something like that.
I found 2 small blaknes looks like flay's unfortunately

@Capreolus,

Thank you Cap for those links

As to the value of such, I'd suppose one could Google. I'd provide a search or two but my Apple/Mac won't let me unless I come up with a password to release my Little Bookmark

@dalehileman,

fossilized honeycombs do exist but are fairly young (8-10K yrs old) from Malaysia. I checks the Journal Of Paleontology and they had only 2 papers on this and NO photos, sorry.
The way its structured (hex on the one side and then squarish along the right angle) That looks like a honeycomb all right.

have any friends with a scope?
Where did you find it? and in what environmental conditions?

I found it in meadow near Baltic beach in Latvia.
Here is a temperate climate, it was laying on beach sand (white, quartz)

Looks like here, on this link

@Capreolus,

there are lots of occurences of fossilized resins along the Baltic. Amber, alginite , resinite, One way to tell i to heat a pin red hot and touch the rock, if it has a piney smell , its a fossil resin.
