(Hand Polished)

Fossil Site: Julius River, near Trowutta, Tasmania, Australia

Fossil Code: AAF270

Price: $65.00 - sold

Description: This is yet another form of stromatolites that is most esthetic in appearance, reminiscent of fine marble. The specimen has been hand-polished to a glassine finish on one side with fine carbide and diamond abrasive, a very labor-intensive job.

Stromatolites have persisted to the modern day in such places as Shark Bay, Australia where they continue their billions of years old lifestyle. While this piece would make a fine present for any natural history buff, anyone who appreciates art would also be glad to get thus wonderful specimen as a gift.
