About the Item
A genuine meeting of contemporary design and geological wonders, this aesthetically striking pen holder is made from a real fossil ammonite dating back some 350 million years from the Sahara, with its iconic spiral shape and fascinating natural veins.
The fossil, left intact in its original form, accommodates an elegant crescent-shaped decorative element made of polished nickel-plated brass, giving it a modern and sophisticated touch.
