Ancient mollusk (closely related to our nautilus).

They could get pretty large (like 6 ft dia).

In the right conditions the shell is replaced with a gem quality mineral matrix as it fossilizes.

That's called "ammolite" and has been recognized as a gemstone by . . . whoever it is that recognizes what gems officially are.

Oh, OK, I can see it now. It looked like something round and black. I even thought it might be a cannon ball! Very interesting now that I know what it is. Monty
