I Cut All My Iridescent Ammonite Fossils (Jurassic Beauties)

I am cutting all my iridescent ammonite fossils to expose the stunning, ancient spiral patterns found inside these shells.

These Jurassic fossils require careful handling to preserve their delicate structures. I show the step-by-step process of using my saws to cut the interior chambers while keeping the iridescent sheen intact. It is a precise task that requires patience to get the best results.

This type of rock cutting demands accuracy to ensure the specimen remains stable during the process. I also demonstrate my method for polishing fossils to a high shine, which really makes the intricate details pop. If you enjoy precision lapidary work, this demonstration highlights how I approach these unique specimens.
