3.54 x 1.96 x 0.46 inches (8.98 x 4.98 x 1.16 cm)

Brilliant flashes of electric green, lime, and vivid turquoise ignite the surface of this beautifully shaped Ammolite. A natural mosaic of fine fracture lines creates a stained-glass effect, intensifying the play of color across the polished face. Subtle undertones of blue and hints of warm amber appear as the piece shifts in the light, adding depth and movement. Expertly finished in a graceful, elongated form, the silhouette exhibits both symmetry and visual flow. This exceptionally bright and richly colored example stands out as one truly captivating display specimen.
