Ammonite cab ~
Offered here is a cabochon cut from a fossil ammonite, found in Madagascar. The species is Cleoniceras madagascariense, and I'm told it lived hundreds of millions of years ago. This cab has a unique suture pattern of growth events which can be seen as white lines, roughly resembling the shape of oak leaves. Those interlocking sutures are thought to have allowed the living ammonite to withstand the immense pressure of the underwater depths. It's a nice example, with warm amber shades reminiscent of marmalade jelly. No doubt it'll make a particularly intriguing item of jewelry! The cab has a well rounded dome of 7.5mm, and a slick glossy polish both front and back.
