Shanghai resident Du Chengyi and his family of three have had to spend six extra days in Antalya, Turkey, to appear in court on charges of smuggling cultural relics during their trip.
The 20 euro ($27) stone Du bought from a vendor at a scenic site was to blame.
"It (the stone) looks like any piece of normal marble, with both sides ground to rectangles," Du said about the brick-sized stone he brought as a souvenir during the vacation with his wife and mother-in-law.
