Description from the seller

A work that nature took decades to shape: this imposing coral, belonging to the species Acropora florida, comes from the pristine waters of the Solomon Islands and presents itself in an extraordinary size, so rare that it becomes a true one-of-a-kind piece. Its white, complex, and vigorous branches resemble the architecture of a marine landscape, suspended between delicacy and grandeur. A specimen of this size is a sculptural work created by the slow work of tiny polyps that, over time, built a monumental organism. Due to its extraordinary proportions, this specimen goes beyond mere collecting; it is a museum piece, ideal for scientific institutions, naturalistic art galleries, or major collectors seeking absolute rarities. Its dramatic presence makes it perfect as a prestigious element in exclusive environments—large hotels, representative villas, spaces dedicated to luxury and contemplation. Finding an Acropora florida of such size is an extremely rare event, and its uniqueness enhances its cultural and aesthetic value. It is not just an object to observe but a symbol of distant oceans, a silent witness to submerged wonders, capable of bringing to the surface the very essence of the sea. A natural colossus, rare and unrepeatable: an invitation to preserve and celebrate the fragile and grand beauty of our planet.

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.
