AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Excellent Aioloceras ammonites with very striking hollow chambers. The specimen features chambers with a beautiful geode. Due to the hollow nature of the chambers, it is very fragile and difficult to work with. This specimen has been cut and polished to showcase its impressive colors present in the chambers. A top-quality specimen, extraordinarily rare to find. A specimen worthy of a museum.
