A wonderfully unusual natural Moroccan Menalite concretion, also commonly known as a Fairy Stone or Goddess Stone, weighing approximately 210g.
Menalite is a naturally occurring calcium-rich sedimentary concretion, forming into distinctive rounded and sculptural shapes as minerals cement surrounding sediment over time.
This substantial specimen has an especially unusual multi-lobed form, with a large rounded central body surrounded by several naturally projecting formations. Smooth curves and deep grooves between the lobes give it an almost sculpted appearance, despite the entire shape being naturally formed.
The specimen is predominantly soft cream-white, with warm sandy yellow and ochre staining across parts of the surface.

Menalite specimens are completely natural and each develops an individual form. Surface marks, pits, irregularities, natural staining and minor areas of weathering are therefore part of the character of the specimen.
