Red Opalized Ammonite Fossil Specimen ~
A beautiful example of the Fibonacci spiral exhibiting itself in nature, the Ammonite is a shelled nautilus that was part of a now extinct group of invertebrate marine animals. These Ammonite specimens from Madagascar each exhibit areas of red iridescent opalized sheen. This natural opalization is a rare effect that is sometimes a part of these ancient fossils. You can expect that these Ammonite fossils may have chips or abrasions interspersed with polish and color, a normal characteristic of these natural specimens. These are each unique and require movement under lighting to show off their opalized flare! Measurements are taken from the longest points. Choose the size you prefer from the menu above.
