Description

Saddle shaped, curvy grey dolomite crystals in the classic shale matrix, associated to numerous pitch black bitumen (tar) masses. WIth dozens of crystals, dolomite shows a pretty good lustre for both the specie and the locale. Pretty rich miniature.

In great conditions, it comes from a personal find at the locale while a gas station was being built. The locality was a collecting spot for a limited amount of days due to construction works.
