Paralegoceras evolutum AmmoniteDescription: The difference between fine art and nature’s natural creative processes are often a topic of debate. This rare and magnificent piece is arguably both. Note the opalised, drusey crystalline interior of this ammonite’s air chambers. The base color is a greenish/tan. Take special note of the graceful wavy growth lines in between the air chambers. It was professionally prepared and polished to reveal the outer lustrous veneer. It would make a wonderful decorative piece, or, an inspired gift to any lover of nature’s creative genius.
