AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This fascinating collectible specimen presents a peculiar Smithsonite formation arranged in small globular aggregates and isolated botryoidal formations. The nodules are distinguished by a color ranging from white-milk to translucent ivory, with slightly amber and orange hues outlining their geometric contours. The smooth, convex formations stand out prominently emerging from a thick and porous natural rock matrix of reddish-brown and ochre color, giving the specimen a singular and marked sculptural three-dimensionality.

The specimen comes from the San Giovanni Mine, Bindua, Sardinia, Italy.

In crystal therapy, Smithsonite is considered a stone of deep emotional healing, tranquility and relaxation. It is traditionally employed to relieve stress, infuse a sense of inner security and harmony, helping to overcome emotional blocks and promoting clear and serene communication with oneself and with others.

The basettes are not included in the shipment.
