About the Item

An amazing authentic fossil ammonite, evidence of forms lived millions of years ago and preserved over time, it becomes the handle of this unique and unrepeatable magnifying glass. Conceived by Nino Basso, the lens has a modern design in mirror-polished metal, designed to contain the fossil shell, maintain its natural spiral shape, highlight its seductive colors yellow ochre and brown. A fascinating timeless piece of furniture that exceeds functionality; a unique "unicum", an eccentric gift idea. The photo illustrates the item that will be shipped.
