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.

White sea fan Gorgonian from Celebes Island, Moluccas.

This specimen belongs to Gorgonacea family. Like corals, gorgonians are animals living in sessile colonial polyps organized in a tree shape. Its structure is a skeleton both soft and hard, called gorgonine and they do not grow in the direction of the sun but perpendicular to the current in order to filter a maximum of waterflow.

Displayed in a dark handmade brass base, turned into an excellent decór item for sea lovers!

Like corals, gorgonians are animals living in sessile colonial polyps organized in a tree shape. Its structure is a skeleton both soft and hard, called gorgonine and they do not grow in the direction of the sun but perpendicular to the current in order to filter a maximum of waterflow. Displayed in a black lacquered wood stand, turned into a unique decor item.

Native to the waters of the Philippines, Sea Spider Crabs can be found around most islands, particularly studied in the Balicasag Island region. These fascinating crabs inhabit shallow waters at depths of around 10 meters. Characterized by their spiny dorsal surface and long, spider-like legs, they are a truly unique species.

This display features two meticulously preserved specimens in a specially designed wooden and glass vitrine, showcasing their intricate details. Sourced from Balicasag Island, Philippines.

Celestine, or Celestite, is a mineral composed of strontium sulfate (SrSO4). The mineral derives its name from its occasional delicate blue color. Celestine, along with the carbonate mineral strontianite, serves as a principal source of the element strontium, commonly utilized in fireworks and various metal alloys.

Celestine crystals from Madagascar are renowned for their intricate formations, including large, well-defined crystals, crystal clusters, and twinned crystals.

Highly coveted among collectors and enthusiasts, celestine is frequently incorporated into jewelry and decorative objects. Its blue hue renders it particularly desirable for use in jewelry, often serving as a substitute for blue topaz or blue sapphire.

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.

This exceptional Black Gorgonian specimen, from Philippines, is a stunning example of nature's artistry. Gorgonians, like corals, are colonial animals made up of sessile polyps organized in a tree-like structure. These fascinating creatures thrive at depths of 20 to 100 meters, often clinging to vertical underwater walls.

Unlike most marine life, gorgonians grow perpendicular to ocean currents rather than towards sunlight, a unique adaptation that allows them to filter maximum water flow for nutrients. Their skeletal structure is a blend of soft and hard components, known as gorgonine, giving them both strength and flexibility.

Mounted in a black lacquered wood base, this piece captures the ethereal beauty of the ocean's depths, making it a breathtaking addition to any collection or interior space.

Trimeresurus albolabris, snake skeleton from Indonesia in a black wood frame.

Also known as White-lipped pit Viper, venomous pit viper species endemic to Southeast Asia. Its meals consist of birds, small frogs, and small mammals.

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.
