The walls of the shell have been replaced by pyrite, giving a metallic charcoal and silvery-grey spiral that frames each chamber. Inside, the chambers are filled with honey, cream and soft gold crystals, creating a bold, almost mosaic-like pattern. The fossil keeps its natural shell shape, with a closed silver back and the bail set at the tail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eMaterial: pyrite ammonite, sterling silver with closed back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSize: approx. 25mm x 20mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eOrigin: Ardèche, France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFree 18\" sterling silver chain included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow Pyrite Ammonites Form\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5.0pt;\"\u003eWhen this ammonite died around 150 million years ago, in the Jurassic period, it settled into oxygen-poor mud on the seabed. As it decayed, sulphur reacted with iron in the sediment and slowly replaced the shell with pyrite. In crystal lore, pyrite is linked with confidence, protection and abundance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5.0pt;\"\u003eFun fact: pyrite is nicknamed fool's gold because prospectors often mistook its brassy shine for real gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho It Suits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFossil collectors looking for something different from Madagascan ammonites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eDinosaur and Jurassic fans of any age\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eLovers of mixed-metal, monochrome jewellery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Wear and Care For It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5.0pt;\"\u003eThe grey and silver tones suit cool colours such as black, grey, navy and white.
