Rare Black Ammonite from Madagascar with Suspension Case

Hundreds of millions of years ago, during the Cretaceous period, an immense ocean covered what is now Madagascar. This ocean was teeming with life, including a massive amount of ammonites. Over time, they died, and their shells were fossilized. Today, we can find these fossils preserved in sedimentary rock. Now and then, we come across a rare black ammonite fossil. These fossils are unique because they likely got their color from the infusion of the mineral manganese.

We make and carry many unique and one-of-a-kind items made of materials from around the world. Some may come with imperfections because they're natural. Appearances of cracks and chips aren't due to damage (unless otherwise specified in the description or images); they're just another wonderful attribute created through the natural formation process.

It's important to choose the item that calls to you, which is why we take images/videos of the exact item you will receive; however, please note that differences in viewing devices mean that the item you receive may be slightly different in color from the picture. We do our best to make every description 100% accurate, and we'll never knowingly sell anything mislabeled (heat-treated citrine sold as all-natural). We also combine shipping on multiple orders and refund any shipping fees over $1 not used.
