Description
Collectors’ minerals. Paésina from Tuscany. Approx. 21.5 x 7 x 0.9 cm. Finely polished natural slab. Fine-grained clayey limestone reminiscent of ruiniform landscapes. Probably among the very last of this quality. All the poetry of an authentic, carefully selected Pietra Cittadina. The Paesina, queen of figurative stones, has fascinated everyone from Pliny the Elder to Pablo Neruda, Roger Caillois and André Breton. Florence region, Italy.
