Oval Platter Large

Description

This is like deep space in stone. An amazing landscape of fossils are spread like the milky way across both surfaces of this platter. There is a marble seam that runs across the platter (not crack). Polished on both sides, many of these large fossils go all the way through to the reverse of the platter.

Unlike much material from this area, this piece has been hand polished to a high shine WITHOUT a varnish finish.
