Item Description
I can honestly say that I've never seen another piece of this material before. A rarity for any collector for sure as ths specime is from the TYPE LOCALITY in Sweden!! This specimen comes from the Swedish Museum of Natural History (Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet - literally, the National Museum of Natural History), in Stockholm. Not only does with the piece comes with a handful of labels, including TWO from the museum itself, but also one from its former owner, Paolo Matioli of Brazil. If you collect rarities, specimens from the Type Locality, or pieces with excellent pedigree, don't miss out on this one.
