Description

Spectacular and very aesthetic group of aragonite crystals with a beautiful purple color typical of the Triassic of Southeast of Spain, a classic since in this large size it is already very difficult to find specimens. In this deposit the crystals appear as clusters between the matrix of marls and gypsum, usually the groups of crystals appear fragmented and it is necessary to reassemble them in their original position as in this case.
