Item Description

A representative specimen of the famous "azzurro mare" (sea blue) Aragonite specimens from Sardinia. This piece is somewhat crystallized, but it's the intriguing color and wonderful translucency that attracts collectors. Good luster and interesting form make it a worthwhile specimen of this fairly difficult to find material.
