Experience a literal "crystallized moment in time" with this museum-quality Golden Calcite in a fossilized Mercenaria Permagna clam shell. Found in the legendary Rucks Pit of Florida, this specimen represents a rare geological transformation where 2-million-year-old calcium from the original shell was pulled inward to grow these stunning, gemmy honey-colored crystals. This piece features a spectacular "fanning" crystal habit that mimics a flame frozen in stone.
