AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Provenance: Sichuan Mountains, mining regions in central/southern China. Weight: 84 g. Dimensions: 70x50x30 mm.
Rare and exceptional symbiosis between 5 minerals!!!! the pyrite polyhedra, the mango crystal, the black marmatite crystal, the superb biterminated calcite tips and the quartz tips. An exceptional specimen, indispensable in a passionate collector's collection because it is very rare to encounter all these minerals in a single specimen, which makes its rarity and value.
The mango crystal (or mango quartz) from mainland China refers to quartz specimens with orange or yellow hues originating from Chinese mining regions such as Sichuan, although true mango quartz with halloysite inclusions originally comes from Colombia.
