Ammonite half in 14K gold fill.

2 1/18" by just over 1 1/4" wide.

Picked this guy up at the mineral show this weekend, anyone know where it's from or why the different coloring and crystalization than the brown/grey I've seen most commonly? I've seen plenty of shades of brown varients but never anything this pale or with those almost hairlike crystals in the chambers.

Sold, though it has cousins on my etsy shop [link]

(I'd still like to know why the drastic color difference and crystal shape, and where I can get more, if anyone knows the answer to any or all of those questions!)

Many thanks, they're a crabby shape to work with, but I love them!

The frosty crystals are remarkable. It looks almost soft. Once again, reluctantly approving the twisted wire. Ugh, Sandra, stop making me eat my words. :P

:glomp: and :giggle: They do look almost soft until they twinkle.

The damn twinkle makes them even softer. I'm. Such a sap ....

Hey, I'm the one who pounced on them and bought nearly a dozen ammonite pairs. Though this was the only of this color scheme I've found. (Downside being I store it in a bag so those little crystals don't get dusty!)

Really pretty and the twisted wire mirrors the walls of individual chambers beautifully.
