Item Description
A sculptural, tree-shaped plate is densely covered with snow-white, stalactitic, cave aragonite from a NEW find at Santa Eulalia. The fantastically shaped, spiky clusters look like a forest of coral. Amazing, that such a dense coverage of a soft mineral is nearly pristine, with very few damaged crystals and just a bit of periphery wear. One of the best new finds of aragonite in a while. Pretty pastel lime-green fluorescence
