Description

This piece is a geological rarity. This piece was created in a shallow body of water that was saturated with carbonates. Small beads formed on tiny crystallization nuclei, just like an oyster. These pearls were embedded in the sediment and have survived to this day.

 The pearls in this piece are unusually large. Each pearl has an individual character. The piece is polished on one side.
