Pearlised Ammonite Fossil - Cleoniceras
The Cleoniceras is an extinct species of ammonite that lived in the seas during prehistoric times. These Cleoniceras ammonite fossils are estimated to be 130 million-years-old and gain their iridescent appearance from the nacreous (mother of pearl) layer of the original shell. This layer is made up of microscopic, plate-like crystals of aragonite; when light hits these layers, it is diffracted and reflected, which creates the natural rainbow-like lustre.
They look equally spectacular when displayed individually or gathered in a cluster. Perfectly suited to a light academia setting or oceanic inspired home, these unique adornments offer a natural and striking variation to the spaces they occupy.
