Sometimes the less you do, the better. So far, I’ve only found two of these fossils in this particular colour, with the added encrustations. They are normally a darker brown colour, looking extraordinarily like Roman brooches (and one day I will do something with these). So, for A Different Planet, we emphasized the planet’s terrain with pearls and diamonds.
