AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
From our selection of collectible minerals we present a splendid group of Emimorphite crystals with Goethite and Limonite from the Ojuela Mine, Mapimí, Mexico.
Moreover, it is characterized by tufted radiating clusters of white and translucent Emimorphite crystals that stand out in a strong color contrast against the black and orange matrix of Goethite and Limonite, with a fan-like arrangement and well-developed needle-like terminations that enhance its aesthetic value and mineralogical significance.
The specimen stands out for the quality of crystallization and for the overall aesthetic balance, with features that enhance its natural structure and visual impact.
Emimorphite derives its name from the Greek 'hemi' (half) and 'morphe' (form), since the crystals show different terminations at the two ends, reflecting the lack of a center of symmetry in its crystal structure. The Ojuela Mine, at Mapimí in Durango, is one of the world’s most famous localities for secondary minerals from the oxidized zone, formed by the alteration of a mixed sulfide ore deposit mined for over a century. Goethite and Limonite, typical oxidation products of iron minerals, confer to the matrix the black and orange tones visible in the specimen.
This is an ideal specimen for mineral collections, display, and for anyone who appreciates 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 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), tracked and insured shipment 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 accumulate multiple purchases and receive them in a single shipment, even from auctions with different deadlines, simply contact us to organize the consolidation. For important pieces, direct home delivery by appointment or at major European fairs is also available.
