AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Excellent specimen of Calcite (Crystals on Matrix), originating from Montalto di Castro, in the province of Viterbo, Lazio, completely natural and of remarkable mineralogical value. The piece stands out for a characteristic spherical crystallization in yellow that covers the dark basaltic matrix, with crystals developed on both faces of the host rock, testimony to a truly striking bidirectional growth. These features add aesthetic and mineralogical 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 realm of crystal therapy and lithotherapy, according to the properties traditionally associated with the mineral species.

All minerals are 100% natural and untreated, except for rare occasions always indicated in the description. The photographs are taken with professional lighting to best highlight 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 combine multiple purchases and receive them in a single shipment, even from auctions with different deadlines, simply contacting us to arrange the consolidation. For important pieces, direct home delivery by appointment or at major European fairs is also available.
