Description from the seller
This extraordinary large Nautilus fossil is a living testament to natural beauty and the power of time. The outer surface of the fossil, finely preserved, emits a unique pearlescent shine, enhanced by red opal iridescences that dance under the light, creating a rainbow of warm and vibrant reflections. Every shade, from crimson to deep purple, intertwines harmoniously on the shell's surface, giving this ancient marine creature an almost magical aura.
The pearlescent effect, combined with the shifting opalescences, makes this Nautilus not just a fossil, but a true work of natural art, capable of capturing and reflecting light like a rare jewel. Its generous size highlights the complexity of the spiral chambers and its harmonious shapes, making it perfect as a focal point for a collection or to elegantly enrich an exclusive space.
Ideal for collectors and enthusiasts, this specimen is an iconic piece that combines the strength of geological history with an explosion of colors and brightness. Every angle reveals new shades and details, making it an exceptional fossil, worthy of admiration like an ancient gem.
