Can I sand ammonite specimen shell to create more iridescence
AP37 posted a topic in Fossil Preparation
Hello everyone, I am new here to the Forum, but have been a fossil enthusiast all my life. New to the ammonite world, and have a fixation currently on preparing specimens for their iridescent shells. In the pictures posted, I'll drill out host rock to try and show/find more colour. My question is (and I know the iridescence has to do with the layers of the shell and light refraction) Can I sand down what I think Is a thick layer of shell and uncover or possible create more colour? Iridescent patterns- 3 replies

Hello- I have a Placenticeras meeki specimen in my collection (see attached pic) and I'm curious to know if the iridescence of its shell can be improved in some way, given its condition- Thanks in advance, Fabio
