Description

Old classic layered smithsonite of cream colour and orange external layer. It has a botryoidal surface and gets a deep yellow colour if backlighting. It is quite compact and could be a perfect raw material for gorgeous carvings. The old label just names “Sardegna” as locality, but it is likely from the Iglesias area.

Specimen #5616, the label stays that it was donated by professor Bregoli.
