Item Description

Fantastic looking appendages/stalactites project out of this surreal large mounded spiky cave flos ferri aragonite specimen from a most obscure Spanish locale. The striking long stalk at the top looks like an insect proboscis sticking out from the "head" at the top. Every turn of this dramatic stalactitic growth presents a different perpective! Complete all-around and essentially pristine, with only a few broken stalactites. Amazing for such a large and complex example of a soft mineral. Outstanding and rare aragonite from the Sanabria Collection.
