Madagascar Copal Amber with leaves and insects, mounted in a handmade dark brass base.
Amber is a substance derived from resins (Fossil Resin) of trees and plants that, buried for millions of years, underwent into a fossilization process.
These resins produced by plants acted as protection against the action of bacteria and against the attack of insects that punctured the bark until reaching the interior of the trees.
Over millions of years, amber-forming organic substances ended up forming a hardened, weather-resistant resin.

Orthoceras column fossil, a captivating relic hailing from a time more than 400 million years ago. These prehistoric squid-like beings, preserved through eons within oceanic sediments, offer an unparalleled glimpse into the past. Elegantly aligned by primordial currents on the ocean floor prior to their entombment, these creatures maintain their relative positions, frozen in the embrace of time.
Skillfully revealed through meticulous exposure and a masterful polish, the fossils come to life against their matrix backdrop. The artful interplay of light and shadow accentuates the delicate features of these long-extinct cephalopods. With their tentacles and ink sacs, reminiscent of their modern-day squid counterparts, these creatures possessed a mystique that transcends eras. Notably, these cephalopods boasted external shells, characterized by hollow internal chambers partitioned by intricate walls known as septa, a fascinating trait shared by their kin.
Originating from the Devonian period approximately 410 million years in the past, this fossil bears witness to the eons that have passed, finding its origin amidst the rugged landscapes of the Anti-Atlas Mountains in Southern Morocco.

Pristine tooth, big size.
From Oued Zem - Morocco.
Handmade brass display with three Opalized Ammonites from Madagascar fields, Albian Period (100–140 million years old). When opalized can be also called as Ammolite is an opal-like organic gemstone found in various placed in the North America and Madagascar. Ammolite is made of the fossilized shells of ammonites, which in turn are composed primarily of aragonite. The microstructure of the mineral is inherited from the shell.
It is one of few biogenic gemstones. Other more commonly known biogenic gemstones include amber and pearl. Ammolite was officially recognised as gemstone species in 1981. Ammolite “opalization” is a term used to express the similarity between the two minerals due to the spectrum of colours it displays. Usually red and green, whilst, blue or purple are rare due to the latter's fragility.
