This unusual specimen is a fossilised clam with calcite inside found in a gravel mine in the USA. You can hear more of the story in the video (click here). This is a stunning piece of fossilisation and crystallisation. I bought three and this was the best grade of them and double the price. The other two are sold now.
The prospector who sold it was only able to extract a small number during the few weeks the mine allowed prospectors inside to collect. He classified them according to rarity, quality and size. This is rare and unique.
The details for this fossilised marine animal are:
- Calcite replacing Mercenaria permagna (Flour, Phos Yellow-green SW/LW)
- Sham Rock and Shell Pit (Rucks’ Pit)
- Okeechobee County, Florida, USA
- Pliocene – Pleistocene
I will just let the photos and the video win you over.
As free shipping does not allow you to select delivery insurance I have added my $30 cost to the price. If you pick up locally this will be refunded.
Enjoy this amazing fossilised clam with calcite specimen.
