AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Large fossil marble ornamental goblet

This imposing ornamental goblet has been carved from fossil-rich sedimentary marble, a natural stone formed over millions of years through the slow compaction of marine sediments. The polished surface reveals a striking mosaic of clearly visible fossil fragments: mollusk shells, ammonites, brachiopods and other extinct marine organisms, silent witnesses of remote geological eras.

The shape, inspired by the ancient chalice, is enhanced by the warm beige tone with veining and inclusions ranging from honey to ochre, up to grayish and brownish hues. The turned base provides stability and elegance, making it a decorative object with strong aesthetic impact and historical value.

An ideal piece for collectors, geology enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a unique, natural touch in their spaces.

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.
