Description

Beautiful specimen of Limestone know as Paesina Stone of Florence. This stone is a limestone sedimentatio originated on the bottom of the sea around 50 million years ago. The landscapes like those of a picture, are absolutely natural, being shaped by mineral solutions (iron-manganese) which make the Paesina Stone a real geological wonder appreciated and worked since 1588 by "Medicean Opificio delle Pietre Dure" in Florence. Stormy seas and islands, canyons, dismantled villages, volcanoes and mountains are depicted by mother nature, remembering tones and colours of Tuscany.
