AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A dried starfish sample, according to the supplier, from the Pacific coast of British Columbia, Canada. With a diameter of about 120 mm, it features a characteristic radial structure and evocative brown-orange tones. Identification is compatible with Pycnopodia helianthoides, the spectacular sunflower star, known for its numerous arms and its role as a predator in North Pacific ecosystems. An interesting natural history curiosity, ideal for natural history collections and Wunderkammer. The species identification should be considered probable, not definitive.

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.

All lots are shipped via DHL Express and Fercam couriers, with insured parcel and tracking.
