Description
A fascinating mixed lot of natural history curiosities, ideal for collectors of ethnographic and fossil specimens. The collection comprises approximately 12–15 pieces including:
Several ivory or bone tusk fragments of varying sizes, some naturally shaped, others finished with brass or silver-toned metal caps and hanging rings suggesting prior use as pendants or decorative pieces. A brown antler or horn spike adds organic variety to the group.
The standout mineral specimen is a polished oval stone displaying striking reddish-orange tones with distinctive circular patterning, consistent with fossil coral (possibly Petoskey-type) or Ocean Jasper.
A fossil coral pendant — a chunky cream-yellow block with beautiful concentric growth ring patterning and a drilled suspension hole — is another highlight, likely Paleozoic in age.
A dark black/grey piece resembling horn, black coral or a fossilized tooth completes the organic specimens.
Presented in a green velvet-lined hinged display box.
A genuine collector’s curiosity lot with natural history, ethnographic and decorative appeal. Sold as shown, as-is
