Description from the seller

Cleoniceras Fossil – Journey through Sea, Time, and Design

This refined specimen of Cleoniceras, originating from Madagascar, is a fossil—a story of lost seas, geological pressures, and mineral sparks that transform matter into memory. Its spiral preserves the primordial geometry intact, a sign that transcends millennia and speaks of the invincible force of time. The sutures, so finely chiseled, expand like small petrified forests: each branch resembles a natural embroidery engraved in stone, reminiscent of secret maps of distant seas and forgotten currents. The warm hues of bronze, amber, and honey dialogue with gray and neutral zones, creating a luminous dance that captures the eye and invites deep contemplation. In life, this cephalopod mollusk belonged to the marine realm of the Mesozoic, an ancient relative of modern nautiluses and squids, which dominated the oceans until their extinction at the end of the Cretaceous. Today, transformed into an indelible stone, it becomes both a scientific specimen and a work of natural art. Shaped by the combined action of pressure, minerals, and time, it preserves the original energy of ancient seas. Mounted on a wooden and brass base, it assumes an elegant and authoritative presence in interior decor contexts. It is not just a collectible element but an aesthetic focal point that bridges passions for geology, interior design, and the history of life on Earth. Owning a Cleoniceras means safeguarding a silent witness of planetary history, a fragment of time that continues to speak with strength and elegance—a piece that reconciles scientific rigor with aesthetic magnetism.

Ammonite measurements: 134 x 163 x 43 mm

Seller's Story

The Mineral Art Gallery offers minerals, fossils, shells and natural elements. 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. A section of the gallery was dedicated to the Wunderkammer, "chamber of wonders or cabinet of curiosities" in which Mirabilia elements are presented: naturalia and italiania, a union between "the present is the past". All lots are shipped via DHL Express and Fercam couriers, with insured parcel and tracking.
