Description

Wonderful smithsonite specimen, coming from Masua mine, Sardinia. It is 360° crystallized, with thousands of shining botryoidal crystals , light blue-grayish on one side, more grayish on the other.

As you can see in photos, there is a strange "dog-like" part, that make a stunning effect, due to is shape and to the crystals, more shining than in the rest of the specimen. It's one of the magic that the nature can do!

Don't lose it!
