AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The Nautilus is a very fascinating animal, the only existing representative of the Nautilidea family, and is considered a true living fossil.
The shell's structure is in itself extremely beautiful, and when you find them in such large sizes, with mother-of-pearl colors and reflections so distinctive, it gains even greater charm.

Dimensions: 170 x 130 x 85 mm
Weight: 168 g

Seller's Story

The Mineral Art Gallery offers minerals, fossils, shells and natural elements. Born in Italy in 2017, today she collaborates with international galleries and collectors, she is a direct importer of large minerals and naturalistic collectible elements; deals with the processing to insert them inside the living space. A section of the gallery was dedicated to the Wunderkammer, "chamber of wonders or cabinet of curiosities" in which Mirabilia elements are presented: naturalia and italiania, a union between "the present is the past". All lots are shipped via DHL Express and Fercam couriers, with insured parcel and tracking.
