with a vertical structure, the concretion of a white colour and irregularly formed with dense clusters of varying sizes, stand - 58 cm, 22 3/4  in.

Provenance: A French private collection.

Note: Aragonite is a carbonate mineral likened to a bouquet of explosions of fireworks or flowers. It is an interesting and attractive mineral which forms interesting habits and can have a soft pretty colour. Its modes of formation and relationship to calcite are both curious and intriguing. The current lot is a very good and exemplary concretion.
