Manuel Quiring

This stunning  Polished ammonite Fossil displays gorgeous striped red- green-orange patterns.

Cleoniceras with iridescent red and rainbow shells are currently considered one of the rarest and most sought-after species by collectors. 

Their rarity and the presence of extraordinary colors, such as iridescent red and rainbow, have made these ammonites very valuable.

The distinctive feature of these shells was generated by the replacement of the original calcium with aragonite, producing an effect reminiscent of opal. These iridescent red ammonites are
commonly known as "fire ammonites"

These natural wonders were discovered in the jungles of Mahajanga, located on the northeastern coast of Madagascar.
