Fossil Ammonite Pendants Set in Sterling Silver

Name: Cleoniceras besairei
Geological Time: Middle Cretaceous, Albian Stage
Fossil Site: Tulear, Madagascar

The hand-selected choice ammonites has been cut in half and polished to reveal the internal details. The back side is left natural, with some showing the mother-of-pearl luster of the original external shell.. The individual chambers are filled with richly colored Calcite crystals of differing shades, with the septa (divisions) between each chamber distinctly visible, making for a superb display piece. The ammonites are the species Cleoniceras besairei and come from the Cretaceous deposits in Madagascar that date to more than 100 million years ago when dinosaurs ruled the land. They are each still unique renderings of nature, so choose the colors and size that suit your fancy.

The hand-made sterling silver mountings are heavy and thick as shown to the upper left, adding to the stunning beauty of the pieces. As they are fine silver, they will need occasional cleaning with a rouge cloth to restore their dramatic luster.
