AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Rare specimen of calcite “pseudomorph of aragonite (encrustation) with dissolution.” This is a peculiar phenomenon in which calcite has been deposited as an encrustation on prior aragonite crystals, which subsequently dissolved, leaving these hollow calcite structures in the shape of aragonite crystals (hence the name “pseudomorph”). It’s truly a special piece to have in a collection.

Provenance: Morocco
Weight: 1.17 kg
Dimensions: 23 x 14.5 x 5 cm
