Opalized Shell Fossil Specimen 68cts - Coober Pedy

A rare and museum-quality opalized shell fossil from Coober Pedy, South Australia — an ancient marine creature over 100 million years old, transformed by geological time into stunning precious opal. The front has been highly polished to reveal brilliant multi-colour play, while the back has been left natural to preserve the fossil's authentic character.

An exceptional collector's piece and a breathtaking display specimen. High-quality belemnites and shells like this also make extraordinary pendants for the right jeweller.
