AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This impressive ammonite fossil slab combines several fossil shells into a natural, organically grown composition and feels like a frozen moment from the dawn of time. The ammonites vary in size and protrude from the rock, partly fully, partly cut away, creating an exceptional sense of spatial depth.
Notably, the fine mother-of-pearl and iridescent sheen of individual shell areas, which, depending on the lighting, display shimmering hues of gold, green, and blue. Polished viewing facets harmoniously alternate with natural sections, underscoring the authentic character of this fossil specimen.
The Step has a strong sculptural presence and is an excellent choice as a central piece for a collection or display. It combines the history of science with decorative elegance and exudes a calm, grounding energy that many collectors of fossil pieces especially appreciate.
An exceptional natural assemblage of great rarity, appealing both paleontologically and aesthetically, and in any high-quality collection instantly a focal point.
