Having come to the present day in perfect condition, allowing us to admire a spectacle of the past that carries with it millions of years of history.
The ammonite has been left on its matrix, from which it seems to literally emerge and come to life.
The shell has been professionally polished and prepared, revealing fantastic colors and making the sutures clearly visible.
A collectible piece that, thanks to the matrix serving as a natural pedestal, can also be used as an exclusive decorative element.
