AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Ctenocella Pectinata is a species of red-colored Gorgonia belonging to the family Ctenocellidae. It is a sessile animal that lives on rocky or sandy seabeds at depths ranging from 5 to 200 meters.
Gorgonians are colonial organisms, meaning they are made up of many individuals that join together to form a single large organism. In particular, Ctenocella pectinata is made up of a series of small polyps that adapt to their environment and work together to feed the organism.

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.
