Fossilized Dosinia Clam Shell, Polished - One of a Kind, 1.1 In

Ring box sized and hand polished to a glossy shine, this fossilized dosinia shell is a small piece of deep time.

The polish brings out the shell's smooth curve and surface detail without hiding that it is a real fossil. Crafters can set it into jewelry, a mosaic or mixed media artwork, and it sits just as well in a specimen box, a curio cabinet or a dish of beach finds. It is an easy add on gift for a fossil fan, a shell collector or anyone drawn to natural history, and it tucks easily onto a desk or windowsill.
