AMMONITE PAIR MEDIUM
An awesome Cleoniceras Ammonite Pair Medium size. Sliced and polished to perfectly display the amazing chambers inside and beautiful dendritic formations from the outside. The pics show some well formed calcification, crystalised pockets and dendritic formation when the sun or a torch is shone through. Pics and video show great dendritic forms on the polished outside faces, hmm pretty cool specimens of high quality. This is a natural prehistoric fossil specimen, they never cease to amaze me. An amazing artifact and a close example of the Fibonacci sequence. A super and ancient gift for the natural history enthusiast. These Cleoniceras Ammonites are from the middle of the Cretaceous period which was between 145.5 and 65.5 million years ago!

PYRITE SUN
A stunning Pyrite Sun. This is a natural formation of Pyrite and something quite different to the usual more cubic looking varieties. Striations radiate out from the centre. Our Suns are hand selected at the source for their excellent quality. We are well known for our metals range and have pyrite specimens showing cubic, orbicular and octahedral crystals, as well as these suns. Pyrite (“fools gold”) is popular with all age groups. A great piece for the collector of unusual pieces. This Pyrite Sun comes with a perspex stand for display and looks even better in person.
