Knife block made of Star Galaxy Gold with a small but rare sandstone ammonite whose parent rock is gold plated.

This ammonite was found in Germany and is made of sandstone. Sandstone is a sedimentary rock . Sediments are products of the weathering of older rocks, the components of which are transported by water, atmosphere and ice, deposited and finally solidified. Ammonites are an extinct group of cephalopods that lived in the sea. There were around 40,000 different species, the largest of which grew up to two meters. Ammonites come from the Lower Cretaceous. This makes them around 150 million years old. The shape of the shell resembles a spiral tube. The animals only lived in the end of the tube. The remaining chambers were filled with air and made it easier for them to sink and rise in the water.

Fossil	Ammonite Othosphinctes on bedrock
Location	Germany
formation	Upper Jurassic, Oxfordian

The Star Galaxy Gold from India exudes a sparkling and luxurious ambience. It is particularly impressive due to its gold and bronze-colored inclusions that sparkle on its deep black background. When polished, its full radiance comes into its own. The stone fits into any living environment that relies on strong contrasts. Simply elegant and timeless. The reflective minerals are bronzites embedded in a dark matrix. The Star Galaxy Gold is a gabbro and not granite. A gabbro is a fine-grained igneous rock that was formed deep in the earth's interior. It consists mainly of dark minerals such as pyroxene, hornblende and olives; quartz is absent or only occurs in trace amounts.
