Item Description
Helectites are limestone cave formations that changes its axis from the vertical at one or more stages during its growth. They have a curving or angular form that looks as if they were grown in zero gravity. This is a stunning, 360-degree specimen, that looks like a fossilized worm tube! Both ends are contacted. Excellent and amazing material from the famous Southwest Mine at Bisbee. Ex Evan Jones Bisbee Collection.
