Description

This is a crazy piece - it is formed like a bathtub. The exterior shows an inter-grown, dark brown layer. The interior consits of light green-blue spheres of aragonite. The photos just give you an idea, but I have to note that it looks much more tri-dimensional in person. The specimen is developed as floater and free from any significant damages.
