AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Excellent specimen of hessonite, a garnet variety, associated with clinoclase, from Passo del Faiallo, Urbe (Savona), Liguria. The piece features crystals of unusually large size for this species, with well-developed habit and tones ranging from intense red to dark brown, enriched by the contrast with the green lamellae of clinoclase. These characteristics 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, with rare exceptions always indicated in the description. Photographs are taken with professional lighting to best enhance colors and details; however, slight variations in hue may occur depending on the device or ambient light.

Shipping is carried out via reliable, selected express couriers, with fast delivery (in many cases 1-2 business days in Europe), tracked and insured shipping and professional and secure 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 end dates, simply contacting us to organize the consolidation.

For important pieces, direct home delivery by appointment or at major European fairs is also available.
