This beautiful specimen formed when gemmy calcites grew in the natural vug created by a buried clamshell. A long strip of the hinge area of the shell forms the perch for crystals growing all along the inside, rising up dramatically past the remains of the fossil in several clusters that MERGE and then rise together to form a crown atop! Very elegant and sculptural! 8 x 3.5 x 3 cm
