AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Excellent specimen of Cassiterite, Quartz, Galena and Siderite from the historic Viloco Mine (Araca Mine), Loayza, La Paz, in Bolivia, completely natural and of notable mineralogical value. The black, lustrous crystals of Cassiterite accompany sharp crystals of transparent Quartz, lamellae of Siderite and Galena, all on a compact matrix that enhances the contrast between the different species. This mineralogical association, together with the rare origin of the deposit, adds great aesthetic and collecting value to the piece.

It is an ideal specimen for mineral collections, display, and for those who appreciate the natural beauty of minerals, also in the field of crystal therapy and lithotherapy, according to the properties traditionally associated with the mineral species.

All minerals are 100% natural and untreated, except for very rare exceptions always indicated in the description. The photographs are taken with professional lighting to best enhance colors and details; however, slight variations in shade may occur depending on the device or ambient light.

Shipping is carried out via reliable and selected express couriers, with fast delivery (in many cases 1-2 working days in Europe), trackable and insured shipping and professional and safe packaging, as confirmed by customer reviews. Deliveries can also take place the day after payment depending on the destination.

It is possible to accumulate multiple purchases and receive them in a single shipment, even from auctions with different deadlines, simply contacting us to organize the consolidation. For important pieces, direct delivery by appointment to your home or to major European fairs is also available.
