Item Description

This almost organic looking specimen resembles a couple of large, ghostly, off-white otherworldly gastropods slinking along an earthy substrate! Rarely do we see cave formations or post-mining forms like this, so this is quite interesting and unique. The two, smooth, elongate and doubly tapered forms forms measure 7 and 7.5 cm, respectively and there are numerous, smaller, amorphous forms in between them. They are on a thin, orange-brown plate of matrix that also has a thin Aragonite coating. A very unusual, eye catching piece for any display! Note this is the same location as the more gracile, slender crystals often called Flos Ferri, and yet this is a robust, giant sized version of the typical habit.
