Pleuroceras solare

Ammonite sliced - Cristal clusters - mounted on a handmade brass stand. 

Aioloceras besairie (>140mm) Lower Cretaceous, Albian (100.5–113.0 million years), from Mahajanga, Madagascar.

These ammonite sliced in two parts has been polished for showing the breathtaking inside colors and patterns. 

Cleoniceras besairiei (Collignon, 1949), cut and polished pair. They are lovely specimens that show the individual chambers of the Ammonite in great detail with all interior cristalized. They are from the Lower Cretaceous – Albian period (100 – 115 million years) from Mitsinjo, near Majunga.

Think of the Ammonite spirals as a filter, drawing in these dense energies which are no longer needed, moving them through the spirals and releasing them as fresh, positive, loving life force energies. The Ammonite is a very powerful earth healing fossil.

Ammonites are often used for activating Kundalini and life path energies. It is often recommended to keep an Ammonite in your home to attract health, prosperity and success.

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.

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.

Natural, unbroken slab filled with wonderful naturally occurring orthoceras fossils that was once part of the prehistoric ocean floor over 400 million years ago, in a rose marble base.

As these forms of prehistoric squid were covered in ocean sediments prior to fossilization, the majority of the creatures will be facing in the same relative position, having been lined up by currents on the sea floor prior to being buried.

The fossils are exposed in their natural surrounding matrix. The slab features normal relief as well as dramatic natural texture and detail they had tentacles and ink sacs, much like present-day squid.

Except for belemnites, cephalopods had external shells with hollow internal chambers separated by walls called septa. Devonian period, ca. 410 million years, Anti-Atlas Mountains - Southern Morocco.

A One of a Kind piece, from Permian period (358 to 419 million years) of Erfoud - Morocco, an extinct genus of crinoid Camarocrinus.

Fossil sea urchin - Pseudocidaris mammosa (AGASSIZ, 1840).

Excellent fossil of a sea urchin. The sea urchin and the spines finest details have been preserved and have been carefully arranged in position of life.

The radiolas preserve the original coloring patterns, worthy of a museum specimen!

Sea urchin with 10 cm spines, from Upper Jurassic, Kimmeridgian (152.1-157.3 million years) - France.

Displayed in a brass handmade stand. 

Hand-polished petrified wood bowl crafted by local artisans. This unique bowl showcases petrified wood from the Araucaria species, dating back 220 million years to the Early Triassic period. Meticulously polished by hand, the bowl features stunning patterns and colors inherent to the petrified wood.

Sourced from the Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park in Madagascar.

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.

A unique One of a Kind signature piece.

Cymatoceras sp.: This is a nautiloid belonging to the genus Cymatoceras, discovered in Ambatalafia, Mahajanga Province, Madagascar.

These nautiloids, much rarer than the commonly seen ammonites, belong to the extinct genus from the nautilitacean cephalopod family, Cymatoceratidae. They thrived from the Late Jurassic to Late Oligocene, approximately spanning from 155 to 23 million years ago. In this particular case, they date back to around +/- 90 million years ago. The shell of a Nautilus consists of two layers. The inner layer displays an iridescent shine, while the outer layer provides protection against external forces. Within the shell are septa, which partition the living area of the shell into compartments, aiding the animal in maintaining balance and position in the water column. Nautiloids like Cymatoceras are considered 'living fossils,' as similar species still exist in our oceans.
