Description from the seller

A fragment of ancient ocean transformed into a natural sculpture. This splendid ammonite of the genus Cleoniceras, originating from Madagascar, displays a polish that highlights its extraordinary dendritic sutures—mineral branches forming almost vegetal patterns, a testament to the biological and geological complexity of over a hundred million years ago. The shell, mineralized in warm tones of amber, gray, and silver, seems to tell the story of evolution as a work of art, blending fossil and contemporary design. The solid wood base, with a brass support, enhances its spiral shape and natural rhythm, making the specimen not only a piece of natural history but a refined and cultured decorative element. A fossil that narrates time, form, and movement: a memory of the sea transformed into an art object.

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.
