Description/Interesting Notes:
A unique example of selenite replacing fossil snails from Australia!!! This specimen hosts an aesthetic group of
sharply defined, gemmy selenite replacements of a fossillized turritella snail shells prominently perched on matrix
with numerous other selenite-shell replacements in association!!! The main selenite turritella snail replacement is
complete and measures an impressive 3.9cm!!! These unique "crystal fossils" are very well formed with gemmy clarity,
lively play of light within, and flashes of luster on the outer surface!!! This large, matrix specimen is loaded with
these unusual selenite crystal replacements and is absolutely fascinating in person!!! I acquired a few examples of this
unique material in an old collection and this was one of the finest examples - it is also the last one!!! Don't miss out!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY AUGUST 11th!!!
