Canadian Ammonite 5(1272)

Placenticeras costatum. Measures approximately 13 ¼” in diameter. This specimen has very good shape. It displays reds, oranges, golds and greens with areas of the rare blues on both sides of this ammonite. There are areas of very bright colours on both sides and areas with excellent ribbing. This ammonite comes from the bottom of the Bearpaw formation at the Korite mine. These are the layers where the best ammolite gemstones are found.  Only in one small area of North America does one find this brilliant gemstone. Over millions of years, the nacre of the ammonite’s shell has been transformed to take on this wild range of iridescent colouring. It comes with a wood display stand and a certificate of authenticity. For international shipping, all customs paperwork is included. This specimen is registered with the Government of Canada and leaves the country with all the required permits and documentation.
