A Collectors Sphere, a rare sphere of serpentinite with spessartite inclusions from Cornwall, Cornovaglia.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The carved spheres made of Serpentinite with Spessartite inclusions are truly rare, especially those from the ancient rocks of Cornwall. Serpentinite, formed deep within the oceans, carries a story of millions of years, characterized by its black veins and intense green. The inclusions of Spessartite, a magmatic garnet with a lively orange color, add a special brightness. These rare pieces make a fascinating addition to any collection, as they are not only aesthetically magnificent but also tell the story of the Earth's formation.
