Description

Another beautiful golden pyritized ammonite from Russia. This time, however, with opalescent red and lavender to violet colors. The piece is well shaped and undamaged on both sides. It was found in the so-called Lamberti Zone and comes from the Upper Callovian, part of the Middle Jurassic. Preserved with clear varnish. Really impressive!
