Description

Arborescent growth of white spheroidal aggregates of calcite and aragonite that form a coral-like aggregate. It has no missing branches and has no damages, which is uncommon in a piece of almost 20x20 cm in size.

Even if the specimen was collected in 1989 by Paul Van Wassenhoven (BE), there is no record of the specific locality where it was found, just “Lavrion”.
