Description from the seller

Fossil of an ammonite of the Cleoniceras species with a very rare Rainbow Opalescence.
These ammonites are very common in Madagascar but very rare with these opalescences.
A true rainbow of colors, it doesn't show well in the photo; it's much more beautiful and opalescent in person.

Born in Italy in 2017, today she collaborates with international galleries and collectors, she is a direct importer of large minerals and naturalistic collectible elements; deals with the processing to insert them inside the living space.
