- 4 SEA LIFE FOSSILS: CRINOID, TRILOBITES,
4 SEA LIFE FOSSILS: CRINOID, TRILOBITES, & SNAILSNorth America, United States, Ohio, New York, & Indiana, Ordovician, Devonian, & Mississippian period, ca. 488.3 to 318 million years ago. This is a fascinating collection of fossils - 4 pieces containing 6 fossils total! The largest matrix is a gray slate that has part of a crinoid with the tendril-like tentacles clustered together, and a platyceras sea snail shell fragment. Crinoids and platyceras had a symbiotic relationship, the snails ate the fecal matter from the crinoids, although there is evidence that they may have been parasitic and bored directly into the crinoids' stomachs! The other matrix contains a partially enrolled trilobite (Flexicalymene meeki), and a snail shell from what is likely a Cyclonema. The other trilobite (Phacops rana) is also partially enrolled - a defensive position to protect the soft underbelly from predators, much like modern day pill bugs. The brachiopod is a beautiful specimen - the original external shell material was replaced by shimmering pyrite as it fossilized! Size of brachiopod: 2" L x 1" W (5.1 cm x 2.5 cm)
Provenance: ex-Stein collection, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, USA, acquired prior to 2010

- ROCK CRYSTAL AND GOLD DRESS CANECa.
ROCK CRYSTAL AND GOLD DRESS CANECa. 1900-Straight and gently tapering rock crystal knob engraved with three almost identical panels showing a daisy hanging on a long stem above leaves. The shallow engraving is excessively precise and with clearly delineated edges, its frosted finish reveals the flowers in a fascinating way and makes them easily perceptible against the polished surface of the knob. More and above, the disks with beautiful ray florets are highlighted with a centering ruby cabochon. The knob comes with a braided ring collar of twisted yellow gold wire with a faceted ruby cabochon, a deep black and close pored ebony shaft and a horn ferrule. The essence of luxury and exclusivity, this cane is an artwork on its own right. Despite an excessive fragility, it survived flawless. H. 3” x 1”, O.L. 39” In the language of herbs, a daisy represents innocence, simplicity, cheerfulness, sympathy and a newborn baby. In the spring, if a dreamer dreams of daisies, this symbolizes months of good luck. If a person sends daisies, it means "loyal love." Daisies are third in literary popularity with famous authors. Following the rose and the lily, the daisy appears in the works of Euripides, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Robert Burns, Ben Johnson, Shelley, William Wordsworth, Charles Dickens, John Keats and many more. Goethe immortalized the daisy when Marguerite needed to know if Faust loved her as she plucked the daisy petals and said, "He loves me. He loves me not." The daisy received its scientific name, Bellis, from mythology. The guardian deity of the orchards pursued a young tree nymph without reciprocation. The nymph asked the gods for help in her flight from her undesirable pursuer. The powerful king of Argos was grandfather to the nymph, so when she appealed to the gods for help, they transformed her into a tiny flower named Bellis, and she escaped a terrible fate. Rock Crystal was once believed to be ice, which had been frozen so long that it could never melt and had turned into stone. This theory was accepted until 1676 when a scholar pointed out that roc crystal often occurs in the tropics. Rock crystal is natural crystalline quartz, which is usually colorless and transparent. Carved rock crystal was highly prized during the renaissance period. In the 19th and 20th centuries, it was used for cameos, seals and high-end cane handles and was polished or faceted for jewelry.
