Mochaccino Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) Very interesting, but a darn shame the calyx is mostly gone. Could've been a fantastic specimen. Edited March 19 by Mochaccino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, the cup was broken even before extraction. The entire lily was destroyed into fragments. Several hours of careful searching allowed us to pick up the main things, but it was impossible to find a fragment of a cup among thousands of small stones. But in the cavity of the cup you can see a calcite crystal This gives additional charm to this sample Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
