A truly rare and fascinating specimen — a fossilized clam naturally filled with sparkling golden calcite crystals. This piece comes from the famous Ruck’s Pit in Florida, a small cement quarry known for producing extraordinary crystal-lined fossils during the early 2000s. Since the quarry has long been closed and flooded, these remarkable fossils are no longer being mined, making them increasingly scarce and highly collectible.
This specimen beautifully showcases the perfect union of paleontology and mineralogy, offering both scientific interest and aesthetic appeal. A great addition to any fossil or mineral collection.
