This ammonite in its natural shale matrix is so bright and the contrast so stark, that it is very difficult to photograph both accurately at one time, and is much better in person. The matrix is 18" in length and 15" height. The ammonite itself is 14.5" x 12." It shows all the colors of the spectrum here, including a lot of the blue and purple hues which are always the rarest and hardest colors to preserve of the original alteration surface. It really is a beautiful ammonite when viewed in person, and the contrast to matrix makes it dramatically different from the singles. Also, it gives you the chance to put it into a wall mount, more easily. I have seen few matrix examples that, overall for quality, and in this price range, impress me as much
