Asteroceras Ammonite – Crystal Exposed, Stonebarrow Cliff, Charmout, Jurassic Coast

£240.00 £280.00

Age: Early Jurassic (-195 million years ago)
Location: Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK
Formation: Blue Lias

A beautifully preserved and partially crystal-lined Asteroceras ammonite, featuring rich caramel and cream calcite with excellent ribbing and growth lines. The inner whorls are preserved with high clarity, while the outer chamber is naturally hollowed, revealing sparkling internal calcite crystals — a rare and visually dramatic detail.

Expertly prepared and set in its original Blue Lias matrix, with subtle tooling to enhance contrast while maintaining the natural texture of the rock. The polished shell face highlights the intricate banding and depth of colour that make this genus so sought after.

  • Ammonite approx. 10.5–11 cm diameter

  • Matrix approx. 16–18 cm across

Features:

  • Lightly polished face to keep as found look with exposed inner crystals coated in light painters varnish to preserve

  • Freestanding display
