This beautiful septarian sphere from Madagascar shows its interior crystallization in contrast with exterior colors.
Septarias are prehistoric marine nodules of bio sedimentary origin followed by dehydration during diagenesis, which today are found as large pebbles in clay soil. The creation of a Septarian is a succession of events along millions years, they form around a core of organic matter (plant or animal).
Sediments continue to settle on the nodule, compacting it under their weight which will flatten it and expel water, while inside micro-cracks begin to form, amplified by tectonic movements. It is in these shrinkage slots that over time dissolved minerals will crystallize.
Its name comes from the Latin "septum" which means partition, barrier, indeed, the polishing of the nodule reveals and sublimates its elegant marbling of black calcite, millions of years that offer these sumptuous minerals, each piece is unique!
Beautiful red calcite that has been polished into the shape of a six sided obelisk. The base of the obelisk is flat, allowing for aesthetic presentation.

An exceptional large-scale mineral specimen from Madagascar, featuring rich violet amethyst crystals naturally formed over a contrasting chalcedony matrix. Both amethyst and chalcedony are forms of silica, yet their different crystalline structures create a fascinating contrast of colour, texture and form.
The specimen developed through a slow geological process, as silica-rich fluids circulated through cavities in the rock, first forming the fine microcrystalline chalcedony and later allowing distinct quartz crystals to grow. The characteristic violet colour of amethyst results from trace amounts of iron within the quartz combined with natural irradiation over geological time.
Remarkable for its impressive size, natural architecture and sculptural presence, this specimen is both a striking decorative object and a beautiful expression of Madagascar’s extraordinary mineral world.
Often regarded as the largest isopod species in the world, Bathynomus cf. giganteus is an extraordinary deep-sea crustacean, closely related to the common woodlouse but far more formidable in size and appearance.
These creatures are generalist scavengers, primarily carnivorous, feeding on the remains of dead marine animals such as whales, fish, and squid. They’ve also been known to prey on slow-moving species like sea cucumbers, sponges, and other benthic organisms—and in rare cases, even live fish. One individual was famously captured on camera feeding on a dogfish shark, showcasing its opportunistic feeding behavior.
In recent years, giant isopods have gained attention not only for their bizarre and prehistoric look but also as a culinary delicacy in certain Asian countries, where they can command high market prices.
This particular specimen was collected from a depth of approximately 900 meters in the Sulu Sea, Philippines, and is presented in a custom-made, One of a Kind glass vitrine — a striking and rare display piece for collectors and natural history enthusiasts alike.
