Description from the seller

A fragment of geological time transformed into jewelry. This refined 925 silver pendant houses a fossil of Cleoniceras from Madagascar, dating back to the Lower Cretaceous, about 110 million years ago. The shell, once home to an ancient marine cephalopod, now reveals a glossy, deep surface, crossed by perfectly preserved dendritic patterns: the sutures, resulting from the growth of the internal chamber, form a natural labyrinth of waves and petrified branches. The warm hues of the fossil – golden brown, honey, and amber – interact with the light, creating subtle and harmonious reflections. Some translucent areas reveal iridescent shades that testify to the slow mineralization process over millennia, during which the original aragonite was replaced by calcite and silica. The result is an organic stone of rare elegance, where each curve tells the story of life's geometry and the perfection of natural laws. The silver setting follows the fluid shape of the ammonite, with a simple design that highlights the golden spiral and the internal texture of the fossil. Every detail of this fossil gem is unique: no two ammonites have the same pattern, because each one represents an unrepeatable imprint of time, a seal engraved by the sea and the Earth.
