Rare Crystallized Fossil Clams mounted in original design acrylic base

About the Item

Rock in a Box is an original design by Ernesto Duran that celebrates three key aspects of displaying minerals and fossils. First, it creates a vanishing point that enhances the piece's natural beauty. Second, it showcases the fossil or mineral in its original position as found, allowing for a unique perspective on how it was discovered and offering flexibility in display angles. Finally, it provides a modern and versatile way to present the piece, seamlessly fitting into various atmospheres within your home. Fossil Species: Ruditapes philippinarum (Japanese clam) Fossil Period: Varies according to geographic location and preservation conditions Fossil Age: Varies by geological dating of the deposit Fossilized crystallized clams are fossilized remains of the species Ruditapes philippinarum, commonly known as the Japanese clam, which have undergone fossilization and crystallization processes over millions of years. These fossils may have an internal structure replaced by minerals, resulting in a crystallized appearance. In this collection we present a crystallized clams mounted in original design acrylic base.
