New - Ammonite Fossils
These fossils from Madagascar are really nice! You can inlay them into the gourd for some really interesting effects. Each fossil has been sliced in half, so if you order 2 pieces, I'll send you a matched pair. Each one is different; they all have different colors and some even have geode-like crystals. Each fossil has been polished. Sizes vary up to about 2".
