Beautiful, highly mineralized fossilized Eastern Oyster shell (Crassostrea virginica) found along the shores of Edisto Beach, South Carolina.

Key Details & Features:

- Origin: Hand-collected at Edisto Beach, SC—a premier location for Pleistocene-era coastal fossils.

- Mineralization: Beautiful natural gray, charcoal, and dark purple coloration resulting from thousands of years buried in anaerobic, oxygen-depleted marsh sediment.
