Description from the seller
An ancient spirit of the oceans encapsulated in stone. This Madagascar fossil Nautilus, polished to reveal its mineral soul, preserves the perfect grace of the spirals that once carved through the Cretaceous seas. Its chambers, filled over time with crystals of aragonite and calcite, are tinged with amber and golden honey hues, with light veins that draw the eternal rhythm of natural growth. Every curve, every reflection, tells of millions of years of silent transformation, when living matter fused with terrestrial minerals to become precious stone. Polished, this high-quality specimen reveals a deep, velvety brilliance, almost as if still wet from the water that once cradled it. A fossil that belongs not only to science but to contemplation: a shell that unites time, form, and light.
