AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Large ornamental glass in fossil marble

This imposing ornamental glass was 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 now-extinct marine organisms, silent witnesses to remote geological eras.

The shape, inspired by an antique chalice, is enhanced by a warm beige hue with veins and inclusions ranging from honey to ochre, to grayish and brown hues. The turned base lends stability and elegance, making it a decorative object with a strong aesthetic impact and historical value.

An ideal specimen for collectors, geology lovers, or for anyone who wants a unique and 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.
