Description

A really amazing specimen - free-standing branches of aragonite var flos ferri attractively set on matrix. The flos ferri formed a tree-like, very tri-dimensional assemble. The branches are partly translucent and show a touch of green-blue color. The assemble is really spectacular and even better in person.  No significant damages to report.
