AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

From our selection of collectible minerals, we present an attractive double-terminated quartz from Val Malenco, a renowned locality in Italy.

It also features good transparency and luster, and one of its two terminations ends in two points, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and mineralogical significance.
The specimen stands out for the quality of its crystallization and its overall aesthetic balance, with features that highlight its natural structure and visual impact.

Quartz is piezoelectric: when compressed, it generates an electrical voltage (and vice versa). This property is used in quartz oscillators, which keep time in watches, smartphones, and computers.

This is an ideal specimen for mineral collections and display, and for anyone who appreciates the natural beauty of minerals, including in crystal therapy and lithotherapy, according to the properties traditionally associated with this mineral species.

All minerals are 100% natural and untreated, with only very rare exceptions, which are always noted in the description. The photographs are taken under professional lighting to best showcase the colors and details; however, slight variations in tone may occur depending on the device or ambient lighting.

Shipping is handled by reliable, carefully selected express couriers, with fast delivery (in many cases, 1–2 business days in Europe), tracked and insured shipping, and secure professional packaging, as confirmed by customer reviews. Depending on the destination, delivery may also take place the day after payment.

You can combine multiple purchases and receive them in a single shipment, including items from auctions with different end dates, simply by contacting us to arrange combined shipping. For significant pieces, direct delivery by appointment is also available, either to your home or at major European trade fairs.
