Giacinto di Compostela (red quartz) CW2222, crystals on matrix, from Chella, Valencia, Valencian Community, Spain.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Red quartz is not rare in nature, but this one from Valencia has peculiarities that make it unique. It is in fact double-terminated crystals of intense red color, shiny and also translucent, immersed in gypsum, which is also reddish. The color is not due to hematite inclusions, as is usually the case for red quartz, but to reddish clay.
Photographed under intense light.
The sample is photographed under intense professional light, to best highlight details and color. Any slight variations in color tones depend on the settings of the device used and/or exposure to ambient or artificial light of different color temperatures.

Seller's Story
We have been collectors since 1972, present as exhibitors at the main mineral exhibitions in Italy and some European ones (Sainte-Marie-Aux-Mines, Monaco, etc.), where you can find us to get to know us in person, exchange opinions, talk about our beloved minerals and, should the auctions end close to an exhibition, deliver your samples directly.
All proposed minerals, unless otherwise specified, are photographed using a strong light source, to better show the colors and details of the sample.
If you buy multiple minerals in the same auction, we will ship them together and you will only pay the higher shipping costs.
