A LARGE and SUPERB example of this strange and pretty Florida phenomenon, as this is a complete shell standing up on the natural "base" of a horizontal shell, making it particularly aesthetic! This fascinating specimen formed when gemmy calcite crystals grew in the natural pocket formed by a buried fossil clamshell. These fine, golden crystals now ring the opening of the shell. A special one! 10.7 x 9.9 x 9.1cm
