Description

Quite esthetic crest of 'cuprian' aragonite featuring a classic blue color nicely distributed across the specimen, and especially concentrated on the main display side.
In good conditions all around, it was originally fully coated with iron oxides, which I did carefully remove chemically. This operation exposed the wavings on the upper ridge of the specimen.

Both esthetic and representative, specimens like these do not come around too often on the market. The specific specimen comes from the former collection Kasper (CH), assembled in the '60s.
