Almost too beautiful to give away:
This bottle stopper is crowned by a real ammonite!
The approx. 150 million year old fossil comes from Madagascar; diameter of the fossilization approx. 4.5cm, total length wine stopper approx. 10.5cm.
Perisphinctes are a genus of ammonites, which lived in the middle to late Jurassic epoch. Ammonites were sea-dwelling cephalopods, primitive squids. From the ammonites mostly only the shells are preserved as fossils. These have the form of a flat, rolled up spiral.
Hello! My name is Marco Schreier, founder of the Mineralienhandlung GmbH of the same name, a specialist wholesaler for minerals, fossils, gemstones, tumbled stones, collector's objects and gift items made of stone. In the year 1998 I founded the brand Maulwurf Geschenke aus der Natur® in order to combine our product range for resellers, museum shops, dealers and other commercial users of the precious stones with our quality guarantee.
You will only receive mineralogically correctly identified stones from us, which promote the joy of collecting and experiencing the precious treasures of nature. Treatments such as coatings or coloring are always declared. Our own production in Asia guarantees the best quality at attractive wholesale prices and fair and transparent product procurement. I personally vouch for this.
