Polished Ammonite Necklace

📍 Only available for shipment in Tunisia

The Story

Ammonites were a prolific group of marine mollusks that thrived in the world's oceans for over 300 million years before going extinct alongside the dinosaurs. This specimen from Madagascar has been meticulously sliced and polished to reveal the complex internal chambers—known as septa—which the animal used to control its buoyancy. Handcrafted into a wearable piece of history, the necklace showcases the iconic golden spiral, a natural sign of mathematical perfection found in the deep past. Over millions of years, these chambers became filled with minerals, creating the unique, translucent patterns that make each piece a one-of-a-kind relic of the Earth's ancient oceans.

Heritage & Authenticity Note

 * Quantity: Please note that each purchase is for ONE (1) individual Polished Ammonite Necklace.

 * Authenticity: All items are guaranteed authentic by Dahr • Earth & Era. These are genuine fossils recovered from Madagascar and handcrafted for the gallery.

 * Natural Variation: Please note that the item pictured is a representative of our collection. Because these are natural treasures of the Earth, the specific ammonite you receive will vary in size, color, pattern, and the degree of mineralization within the chambers.

 * Nature’s Mark: As genuine fossils approximately 100 million years old, natural surface imperfections, small pits, or varied mineral colors are expected. These are not defects but are characteristic signs of the item's genuine ancient nature and the fossilization process.

 * Handling: While designed for wear, fossilized material is inherently brittle. The necklace should be handled with care and protected from heavy impacts or being struck against hard surfaces.

 * Return Policy: To maintain the integrity of our collection, all sales are final. No refunds are accepted except in extraordinary circumstances, solely at the discretion of the gallery.
