Specimen: fossil ammonite in genus Speetoniceras set in a sterling silver pendant.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A jewel encompassing millions of years of geological history. It contains a section of a fossil ammonite of the Speetoniceras genus, originally from Siberia, which lived approximately 110 million years ago, during the Lower Cretaceous period. This ancient marine cephalopod, with its imposing and ornamental spirals, has now been transformed into a natural gem of rare beauty. The septum chambers, once filled with gas to regulate the animal's buoyancy, reveal a fascinating fossilization process: some are filled with sparkling pyrite, others adorned with aragonite and calcite crystals in warm golden and honeyed tones. The contrast between the metallic brilliance of the pyrite and the luminous hues of the carbonate phases creates a natural landscape set in 925 silver, enhancing its detail and preciousness. Wearing this pendant means carrying with you an authentic fragment of vanished oceans, a unique fossil that unites science, art, and nature. An exclusive jewel, dedicated to those who love extraordinary charm, where beauty is not only aesthetic, but also a living memory of the Earth.
