Ammonite Fossil

Pair of Polished Ammonite Fossil on Custom Wood Base

This beautiful pair of natural ammonite fossils has been cut and polished to reveal the remarkable spiral patterns formed millions of years ago. Displayed as mirrored halves, each fossil shows off warm earthy tones of caramel, honey, and stone, all resting on a deep wood base that gives the pair a grounded, sculptural presence.

What makes these especially compelling is the balance between polish and rawness. The smooth, gleaming faces highlight the fossils’ intricate internal chambers, while the outer edges remain natural and organic. They work effortlessly as bookends, but are just as striking styled on their own as decorative objects.

Collector’s Notes:

Ammonites are ancient marine fossils, formed more than sixty five million years ago, and have long been collected for their perfect spiral form and sense of quiet wonder. Pairs like this became popular as decorative objects in the mid twentieth century, when natural specimens were often displayed alongside books, art, and architectural objects. Today, they still feel timeless, adding texture, history, and a sense of curiosity to a space.

A thoughtful piece for collectors who appreciate natural beauty, subtle drama, and objects with a story.
