Description

Orthoceras Fossil Marble Coaster Set with Holder

Beautiful six-piece round coaster set with matching holder, hand-carved from genuine black fossil marble featuring striking Orthoceras inclusions. These ancient marine cephalopods, related to the modern squid, lived over 350–400 million years ago during the Devonian period. Their elongated cone-shaped shells are clearly visible in each coaster, preserved within the rich black marble matrix. Sourced from the fossil beds of Morocco, this stone is prized for its natural contrast and dramatic prehistoric detail.

Each coaster is unique, displaying naturally occurring patterns in shades of black, white, gray, and cream. The set combines functionality with geological artistry, perfect for both collectors and modern interiors. A fascinating conversation piece that brings a fragment of Earth’s deep history to your table or office.

Condition:

Excellent condition with no damage. Smooth polished surfaces, crisp fossil definition, and natural patterning throughout. No chips, cracks, or repairs observed. Variations and natural inclusions are inherent to the stone and contribute to its unique character.

Dimensions:

  • Coaster: 0.25" H x 3.75" Diameter
  • Stand: 2.5" H x 5" W x 3" D
  • Weight Overall: 3 lbs
