Natural History

Giant Isopod – Bathynomus cf. giganteus, 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.

A stunning geode featuring vibrant Amethyst crystals alongside beautifully defined cubic Calcite crystals. This remarkable specimen comes from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, a region renowned for producing some of the world’s finest geodes.

The formation of Amethyst is a fascinating two-stage process. First, a hollow cavity forms within volcanic rock due to gas bubbles trapped in lava as it cools. Over time, groundwater rich in silicates and other minerals infiltrates the porous igneous rock. As mineralized water flows through the hollow spaces, it begins to deposit layers of minerals, starting with Agate. Once this foundational layer is formed, conditions become ideal for Quartz—and eventually Amethyst—crystals to grow. Amethyst typically forms at low temperatures, often below 100°C, and sometimes as low as 60°C.

This particular geode is a rare find, with a striking contrast between the deep purple Amethyst crystals and the light, geometric Calcite formations. The edges are lined with a beautiful bluish hue, enhancing its visual appeal and making it an exceptional addition to any collection or interior space.
