Sterling silver pendant housing an iridescent Cleoniceras ammonite fossil from Madagascar, dating to the Jurassic, with dimensions 54 × 33 × 13 mm and a weight of 24 g.
Description from the seller
Section with dendritic sutures — A jewel born from the heart of the Earth and the memory of the sea. This refined 925 silver pendant houses an exquisite fossil specimen of Cleoniceras from Madagascar, characterized by an extraordinary iridescent surface showing opalescent reflections in tones of red, orange and coppery gold. This is a natural fossilization phenomenon known as ammolite, in which the aragonitic structure of the ammonite shell, over millions of years, transformed into an opalescent mineral capable of refracting light in unique chromatic play. Each specimen is unrepeatable, with a color pattern that changes depending on the angle and light intensity, recalling the depth of fire and the fluidity of water. The glossy silver frames the fossil spiral with sober, contemporary lines, allowing the natural beauty of the gem to remain the absolute protagonist. This pendant unites geology, time, and goldsmithing art in a single object, transforming an ancient form of marine life into a symbol of transformation and eternal light. Each ammonite tells the story of a lost ocean and the slow miracle of stone becoming gem.
