A rare and captivating parcel of naturally opalized belemnite pipes from Australia — ancient marine creatures transformed over 100 million years into shimmering opal. Each piece is entirely natural and unpolished, preserving the original fossil form in all its prehistoric beauty.

This parcel includes multiple belemnite pipes ranging in size, with the largest approximately 42 x 10mm and the smallest around 30 x 10mm. A wonderful addition to any opal or fossil collection, and high-quality specimens also make striking pendants.

Notes

Belemnites were squid-like marine animals that lived during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods — a time span of approximately 135 million years. They became extinct at the end of the Cretaceous, around the same time as the dinosaurs. Their hard internal rostrum (the bullet-shaped guard) is what survives as a fossil, and in rare cases, these have been replaced by precious opal.

All Opal Essence specimens are ethically sourced from Australian miners and suppliers.
