Description

A classic Austrian specimen from the Erzberg: aragonite in the sought-after “bird’s nest” habit. This formation occurs in old mine workings where mineral-rich fluids flow over loose gravel for decades, coating the stones in snow-white aragonite. A unique and rarely seen material on the market, and this example is particularly fine.
