Description from the seller
Ornamental vase in sedimentary fossiliferous marble.
Extraordinary decorative vase carved from natural fossiliferous marble, a sedimentary stone rich in microfossils visible to the naked eye: remains of shells, ammonites, belemnites, and other marine organisms from the past. Its surface, finely smoothed and hand-polished, bears tangible traces of time, telling an ancient geological story millions of years old.
The warm color, ranging from beige to ochre and brown shades, accompanies an intricate tangle of fossilized organic shapes, making each piece a unique and unrepeatable natural document.
The rounded and balanced shape, with a slightly flared neck, evokes ancient urns or ceremonial containers, giving the piece an archaic yet refined charm, perfect for collectors, geology enthusiasts, and nature-inspired decor.
Material: sedimentary marble with fossil inclusions.
Finishing: hand-polished
Geological era of fossils: Paleozoic – Mesozoic (estimated)
Recommended use: decorative object, collectible item, symbolic or contemplative vase.
