Ammonite in haematite

Madagascar

$190

Material: Ammonite fossilised in haematite Weight: 387 g Dimensions: 12 × 9 × 2.6 cm A beautiful ammonite fossil from Madagascar, carefully polished to highlight its natural shape and superb internal details. This specimen has a dark hue with metallic sheen, typical of haematite, which gives it an elegant and highly decorative appearance. The fine natural suture lines, visible across the entire surface, form delicate, almost floral patterns, characteristic of ammonites and particularly sought after by collectors. The central spiral is clearly defined and offers a lovely contrast to the dark grey, black and silvery shades of the specimen as a whole. The ammonite has been prepared in such a way as to preserve the full beauty of its fossil structure whilst revealing its mineral appearance. Measuring 12 cm in length, this ammonite is a beautiful collector’s item – aesthetic, natural and full of character. It will look just as good in a fossil display case as it will as part of an original mineral-themed display. An authentic, elegant and timeless piece, ideal for lovers of fossils and minerals.
