Ammonite Polished Fossil Pair - 2.0-5.25 inch
Product Description
The Ammonite Specimen Pair is a matching set of two polished halves of a fossilised ammonite, cut and finished to reveal the spiral chambers and suture patterns of the ancient shell in warm browns and tans. Each half mirrors the other, the coiled form opening to show the internal structure, and the pair makes a striking natural-history display set in the hand or on a shelf.
Ammonite fossils are traditionally associated with transformation, cycles and steady evolution, qualities people connect to the spiral form and the stone's immense age. A polished pair like this is kept as a display set on a desk or shelf, valued both as a fossil curiosity and for its associations with growth and renewal.
As a natural fossil, the size, colour and the exact pattern of the chambers differ from one pair to the next, so the set you receive will be entirely its own.

Geological Information
Ammonites are the fossilised shells of extinct marine molluscs that lived from roughly 400 to 66 million years ago, related to the modern nautilus. The shell is composed largely of calcium carbonate (aragonite and calcite) at a Mohs hardness of about 3.5 to 4.5, and its coiled, chambered structure is preserved when the original shell is replaced or infilled by minerals over geological time. Cutting and polishing a specimen across the spiral reveals the internal chambers and the intricate suture lines where the chamber walls met the shell. This material is sourced from Indonesia, one of several fossil-bearing regions worldwide.
AuturaSol Standard
Each natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity. Natural variations in colour, structure, inclusions, and surface features are inherent to geological materials and contribute to the individuality of each piece. Any known treatments, enhancements, stabilization, or man-made characteristics are clearly disclosed within the product information where applicable. Every piece is inspected and photographed to reflect its true character; however, lighting conditions, screen settings, and natural variation may cause slight differences in appearance. If you have any questions about a piece before completing your purchase, we're always here to help. Where authenticity meets beauty, we tell you exactly what you're holding.
Care Note
The fossilised shell is relatively soft at Mohs 3.5 to 4.5 and can scratch or chip. Handle the halves gently, keep them dry and away from harder stones, and avoid prolonged water exposure to preserve the polished surface.
