An amazing pair of Spider Conch Shell and Cube Calcite Crystal Cluster on a stand.
Lambis lambis, common name the spider conch, is a species of large sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Strombidae, the true conchs.
The maximum shell length for this species is up to 29 cm, and average length stands for 18 cm. Lambis lambis has a very large, robust and heavy shell. One of its most striking characteristics is its flared outer lip, ornamented by six hollow marginal digitations. These digitations present subtle differences in shape between genders in this species, as the three anteriormost digitations are short and posteriorly bent in male individuals, and longer and dorsally recurved in females. The color of the shell is highly variable, being white or cream externally and often presenting brown, purplish or bluish black patches. The interior is glazed and may be pink, orange or purple.
A beautiful cube calcite crystal cluster composed of a myriad of crystal points that come out of the matrix from every direction, creating fabulous plays of light.
Cube calcite crystal clusters are fascinating mineral formations composed of calcite (calcium carbonate, CaCO3), a common and widely distributed mineral known for its varied crystal forms and vibrant colors. Cube calcite refers specifically to calcite crystals that form in a cubic shape. This is a rare occurrence because calcite typically crystallizes in a trigonal-rhombohedral system.
Mounted on a custom-made black steel base with steel support, it presents itself as an extremely elegant item that can be displayed in any corner of the house or office.
