- Description: A ruby red, fire opalized ammonite from South Dakota, consisting of two parts: the ammonite itself and the "bed", the original matrix in which it was originally found.
- Additional information: Ammonites were cup-shaped cephalopods that became extinct about 66 million years ago. Fossils of them are found all over the world. Ammonites are extinct, shelled cephalopods. They all had a chambered shell that they used for buoyancy.
- Their geometry and beauty have captured the human imagination since at least the Mesolithic (Middle Stone Age), giving rise to many origin myths and beliefs about their magical and medicinal properties.
