Rare cubic fluorite crystals in deep purple with quartz on matrix from Camissinone Mine, Zogno, Bergamo Province, Lombardy, Italy.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
From our selection of collectible minerals, we propose a rare group of purple cubic Fluorite crystals with Quartz from the Camissinone Mine, Zogno, in the province of Bergamo.
Moreover, it is characterized by sharp, intensely violet cubic Fluorite crystals in association with transparent Quartz crystals on matrix, a provenance that is rare and not common on the market, elements that increase 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.
Fluorite (CaF2) derives its violet color from color centers tied to small amounts of trace elements or to lattice defects, often accentuated by weak natural environmental radioactivity. The Zogno area, in the province of Bergamo, hosts small low-temperature hydrothermal mineralizations within the Permian volcanic rocks of the Orobi The Prealps, where fluorite is typically found in association with quartz. This provenance is rather uncommon on the collecting market, making this specimen particularly interesting from a topographical point of view.
It is an ideal piece for mineral collections, display, and for those who appreciate the natural beauty of minerals, also within 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 very rare exceptions always indicated in the description. Photos 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 performed via reliable, selected express couriers, with fast delivery (often 1-2 working days within Europe), trackable and insured shipping, and professional, 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 end times, simply contacting us to arrange the consolidation. For important pieces, direct delivery by appointment to your home or at major European fairs is also available.
