Nero Assoluto knife block. Brushed front and with bevelled, rounded and polished edges towards the back. The Keichousaurus is in the parent rock, which in turn is incorporated into the Nero Assoluto.

Complete dinosaurs like this one are the "supreme discipline", so to speak. Complete Keichousaurus are extremely rare and therefore correspondingly expensive. This large, very well-preserved swimming dinosaur has many beautiful details and a perfect bone structure, whether it is the skull, torso, limbs or tail, and you can also clearly see the texture of some of the bones. One special feature is that there are some unknown substances around the bone in the
Chest cavity. The lines on the rock plate are not fractures, but natural cracks and quartz veins, which are evidence of the mountain pressure that the rock layers were exposed to over the course of millions of years. The dinosaur is an original fossil, not a replica!

Like all swimming dinosaurs, the Keichousaurus was highly adapted to the underwater world. It had a long neck and a long tail, and its elongated feet had five toes. The pointed head and sharp teeth of this genus also indicate that it was a hunter and fish eater. The reptiles probably lived in rivers and coastal areas.

The Nero Assoluto natural stone is one of the most elegant of its kind.

The black stone is a gabbro, a magmatic stone of plutonic origin. Also known as plutonite, these stones are formed deep inside the earth, mainly in the oceanic crust. Among the gabbros, the Nero Assoluto Zimbabwe is a rare plutonic rock with the composition of a gabbro-plutonic stone. The special feature here is that this stone appears almost exclusively in black and is covered with tiny minerals.
