Description

A botriodal aggregate of blue calamine (hemimorphite) from this classic Sardinian locality, now defunct. The specimen presents a pale discontinuous layer, very thin, which in my opinion could be mechanically removed with some care and bring the specimen to a higher standard.

Good size.
