About the Item
Fossilized clamshell with a natural forming pearl and mounted on a polished agate base.
This unique type of fossilized clamshell can be up to 1.5 to 2 million years old. This clamshell specifically contains warm tan hues of calcite crystals, formed when mineral-rich groundwater permeates the shells and deposits crystalline calcite in the hollow interiors. The striking contrast between the rough, weathered shell and the crystal interior makes them highly sought after by collectors and dynamic representations of one of natures most interesting forms of preservation.
The piece is put together by Jean O'Reilly Barlow, the artist and creative director of Interi. The date of manufacture reflects when she created the piece and the period shows that the age of the naturally fossilized clamshell.
