This genuine Fire Ammonite fossil measures approximately 6 inches, weighs almost 2 pounds, and features striking red flashes across its opalescent surface. Gemstone-quality and beautifully polished, this piece is even more stunning in person as it showcases the natural brilliance of Madagascar’s famed Cleoniceras ammonites.
Fire Ammonites form when ancient ammonite shells undergo mineralization over millions of years, developing a shimmering layer known as ammolite. This rare, naturally occurring gemstone displays vibrant iridescence created by layers of aragonite, calcite, pyrite, and other minerals.
Sourced from the lush Mahajanga region along Madagascar’s northwest coast, these fossils captivate with their fiery hues and mesmerizing play of color. Once the protective nacre of a living sea creature, the shell has transformed through time into a breathtaking relic—part fossil, part gemstone, and entirely unique.
Perfect for collectors, crystal enthusiasts, or anyone who loves nature’s artistry, each Fire Ammonite is a one-of-a-kind display piece.
