Item Description

A classic and really eye-catching Flos Ferri Aragonite from the famous Dobsina (Dobschau) Mining District in Slovakia. The term "Flos Ferri" actually means flowers of iron, which is strange as Aragonite is a calcium carbonate. Beautiful "flowers" of stark white Aragonite stalactites sitting on contrasting grey matrix. Great condition all the way around, and hard to find on the market, especially from Slovakia. Do not miss out on this beauty, it's the only one we have to offer.
