Hey guys!

I am very excite, I just received my really nice Aulacopleura konincki  trilobite.

At first I was quite astonished by the very small size of the trilobite (1,3 cm)

But It compensated quality wise and It has this really nice goldish colour you can only see in real life.

The trilobite also sparkles alot with little glimpses of light as if it was cristalised... very nice but normal?

These pictures are taken with my little jewlers magnifying glass so we can see better.

Both side spines and eyes are complete :) 

Very happy to share this piece with you.

Kind regards.

That’s very nice, quality over size is what I always go for when fossil buying.:envy:

That's a beautiful bug! :):trilo:

Lovely detail. 

The sparkling is probably tiny calcite crystals, happens sometimes.
