Pecten Gloriosa with natural barnacles - Height: 170 mm - Width: 90 mm- 117 g

A meeting, a dialogue between marine forms, between two sea creatures: the Pecten mimachlamis gloriosa conch shell, with its red and white stripes, becomes the living base on which a colony of barnacles has taken residence. The regular, radial valves of the Pecten, already elegant and ornamental, are enriched by these tubular structures that emerge with pink and white shades, resembling petrified flowers or crystalline corollas. The natural growth of the barnacles transforms the specimen into a sculptural work, where symbiosis and stratification blend. Each opening of the crustaceans evokes the breath of the sea, a silent rhythm that has accompanied the life of the conch shell. An element that tells the essence of naturalistic collecting: not only the beauty of a species but the story of an encounter, of an ecosystem that has left its mark in concrete forms. A marine relic that evokes the ancient charm of Wunderkammern, perfect for those seeking not just a specimen but an authentic fragment of oceanic life.
