Crown-of-Thorns starfish

Availability: 1 In Stock

The Crown-of-Thorns starfish (Acanthaster planci) is a large and striking starfish known for its unique feeding habits and its role in coral reef ecosystems. It preys on hard, stony coral polyps and derives its name from the venomous, thorn-like spines that cover its upper surface, resembling the biblical crown of thorns. As one of the largest starfish species in the world, it boasts a wide Indo-Pacific distribution. While it is most commonly found around Australia, it also inhabits tropical and subtropical waters, from the Red Sea and the East African coast across the Indian Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, reaching as far as the west coast of Central America. Wherever coral reefs or hard coral communities thrive, this species can often be found.

The adult Crown-of-Thorns is a corallivorous predator, primarily feeding on reef coral polyps, encrusting sessile invertebrates, and even dead organic material. It uses its numerous tube feet, located in distinct ambulacral grooves on its underside, to climb over coral colonies. With its flexible body, it closely conforms to the coral's surface, including the intricate structures of branching corals. To feed, it extrudes its stomach through its mouth, spreading it over the coral's surface to a diameter matching its own. The stomach secretes digestive enzymes that break down the coral tissue, allowing the starfish to absorb the liquefied nutrients. Remarkably, a single Crown-of-Thorns starfish can consume up to six square meters of living coral reef in a year.

Amethyst and Calcite Geode

Availability: 1 In Stock

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.
