AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This fabulous natural Serpentine egg was carved from a single block of mineral sourced from the mines of Peru.
It is a wonderful example of the beauty and variety of colors that characterize this mineral.
Also known as 'Nuova Giada', serpentine belongs to the group of metamorphic minerals formed through the transformation of Olivine.
This block of Serpentine was formed through a geological process that took millions of years, during which the stone transformed and acquired its characteristic consistency.
Its beauty and geological history make it a perfect choice for those seeking a natural stone with a unique and extraordinary charm.

Seller's Story

The Mineral Art Gallery offers minerals, fossils, shells and natural elements. Born in Italy in 2017, today she collaborates with international galleries and collectors, she is a direct importer of large minerals and naturalistic collectible elements; deals with the processing to insert them inside the living space. A section of the gallery was dedicated to the Wunderkammer, "chamber of wonders or cabinet of curiosities" in which Mirabilia elements are presented: naturalia and italiania, a union between "the present is the past". All lots are shipped via DHL Express and Fercam couriers, with insured parcel and tracking.
