Ammonite

26g raw ammonite. This prized ammonite specimen is part of the fossilized remains of an ammonite shell and originates from China. The stone has a coiled spiral shape and measures 50 x 40 x 13 mm. The ammonite displays rich iridescent colors that vary depending on the angle of the light and the viewing angle. It is a high-quality stone, ideal for collectors. Ammonites became extinct at the same time as the dinosaurs. More than 65 million years ago, an animal from the squid family lived in the depths of the ocean. This animal, called an ammonite, had a thin shell that, when polished, becomes one of the rarest gemstones on Earth. Ammonite is made from the fossilized remains of these shells, which came to light after millions of years. Origin: China
