AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
From our selection of collectible minerals, we present a rare group of cubic Fluorite crystals from the Camissinone Mine, in Zogno, Bergamo province (Lombardy).
Moreover, it is characterized by sharp, intense violet cubic crystals, with suggestive internal zonation darker toward the core, good transparency and vitreous luster, in addition to the red fluorescence noted by the collector and the rare provenance, elements that increase its aesthetic value and mineralogical importance.
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.
Fluorite (CaF₂) owes its violet colors to color centers generated by small amounts of rare earth elements or lattice defects induced by natural radiation over time, a phenomenon that also explains any fluorescence under UV light typical of this species. The mines in Bergamo province, such as Camissinone in Zogno, are historically known for hydrothermal fluorite- and barite-bearing veins related to the Triassic dolomites of the Prealps Orobiiche, today a source of increasingly rare collectible specimens on the market.
This is an ideal specimen for mineral collections, display, and for those who appreciate the natural beauty of minerals, also in the context 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. The photographs are taken with professional lighting to best showcase 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 shipping and professional and secure packaging, as confirmed by customer reviews. Deliveries may 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 by contacting us to organize the consolidation. For important pieces, direct home delivery by appointment or at major European fairs is also available.
