Item Description
These specimens have confused collectors since they first came out in the early 1990s as calcite after something embedded in concretions and then glendonite (a variety of calcite) after ikaite. This stellate spray of pseudomorphs is strikingly set atop an amazingly sculptural mudstone concretion matrix. You don't see many around today. Really unsual and fantastic form!
