This is a rare kind of aragonite from the Styrian Erzberg, the type location of flos ferri.
It is a so called birds-nest - a formation that was formed by dripping water in the mountain. It consists of an aragonite-coated matrix (the bird nest) with some free moving stones, also coated by aragonite (the birds eggs).
Collecting is strictly forbidden at the Erzberg, so there's no new material to expect.
