Moving them around in the
light the iridescent colors change.

These two photos are of the
same shell moved slightly to
flash the colors.

I love the way the light catches these. Beautiful! Thank you for including them in the #fridaysrock tag!!

Thank you very much ❤ @nat-expressions! :-)
You are most welcome! #fridaysrock tag is the
best tag on steemit!

Those are really pretty fossils! The iridescence is fascinating and lovely! Cool find! 😁 I have a few fossils in my collection (a trilobite, among others), but no ammonites. Congrats on finding these at a good price!

Thank you ❤ @thekittygirl! Love opal looking rocks
and fossils. So amazing the colors and prices of some!
I got a trilobite somewhere around here will have find.
Really cool to find another rockhound friend! :-)

oh wow, that petrified mother-of-pearl shine is just amazing

Hello @fraenk! Isn't it tho! Reminds me
I got their long lost cousins somewhere! lol
