Sterling Silver pendant housing a rare Speetoniceras Versicolor ammonite fossil section from Siberia, dating to the Early Cretaceous, with pyrite, aragonite and calcite minerals.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This extraordinary silver pendant houses an absolutely unique gem: a rare fossilized section of Speetoniceras Versicolor ammonite, originating from the ancient sediments of Siberia. The cabochon has been skillfully carved from the inner part of the ammonite, revealing the hidden beauty of its fossilized chambers.
The dark half of the cabochon displays the ancient shell of an ammonite, mineralized in pyrite, with natural veins and metallic gleams that highlight its original structure. The other half, instead, is composed of aragonite and calcite, minerals that filled the empty chambers during the fossilization process, creating extraordinary amber-colored crystalline formations.
The contrast between the metallic brilliance of pyrite and the warm luminosity of carved calcite creates a fascinating visual effect, as if two geological worlds meet in a single gem.
A collectible jewel, rare and fascinating, that unites science, art, and nature in a single creation. Each piece is unique, just like the millennia-old history it safeguards.
