Any plant submitted to water quickly rottens. Following that statement, a year-long experimental investigation research was necessary to implement the crystallizing technique of that thistle flower. The quick fixing onto the thorns of light microscopical carbonate crystals must be obtained to stiffen and strengthen them. That process is further achieved with some thick shiny crystals which give the petrified flower a unique finish.
