Description
SUPERB PRECIOUS GEM AMMOLITE
Placenticeras costatum
Upper Cretaceous
Bearpaw Formation, Alberta, Canada
So beautiful are these rare ammonite fossils that the transformed material of their shell lining has been designated as a precious gemstone: Ammolite. This is an exceptional example, entirely free from the matrix, with good three-dimensionality, and flashing all over with electric green and gold. Best of all, however, are numerous large areas of the much rarer purple coloring, making this a highly aesthetic, highly desirable specimen, of good size at 20 inches wide.
