ORTHOCERAS & AMMONITE FOSSIL STONEWARE SERVING FOSSIL PLATTER Atlas Mountain Range (North Sahara Desert), Morocco DEVONIAN PERIOD: 395 - 345 million years ago These large serving platters are hand-carved from the most beautiful and valuable fossil-bearing stone in Morocco. Only the finest blocks of stone of this specific color are first selected. Then the block is sliced into thin sheets to avoid wasting any more precious stone than necessary. Each slab is then hand-shaped and polished into these incredible platters. The patterns and colors are beyond words. Both ammonites and orthoceras are scattered throughout the caramels, gold, grays, burnt oranges and blood reds in the stone. The workmanship and beauty must be seen to be fully appreciated. This large platter is an amazing work of art that must be seen to be appreciated. If "unique", "rare" and "fine quality" are important words in your tastes, then this is a strongly recommended piece that is as functional as is beautiful. Pattern and colors will slightly vary but all are hand-selected and the finest of those crafted. ONE OF THE MOST VISUALLY BEAUTIFUL AND IMPRESSIVE PIECES OF FOSSIL STONEWARE WE HAVE SEEN! 18" long x 11.5" wide $195 SW5 COLOR AND PATTERN WILL VARY |
