Siderite rossa with hematite crystals on matrix from the Brosso Mine in Calea, Lessolo (TO), Piedmont, Italy, weighing 86 g.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Excellent specimen of siderite with hematite (crystals on matrix), from the Brosso Mine, Calea, Lessolo (TO), Piedmont, Italy, completely natural and of excellent mineralogical value.

The siderite crystals show an intense reddish-brown color with a lamellar habit, arranged in elegant aggregates on a black hematite matrix to complete the composition; the formation is of alpine type, characteristic of the alpine fissures typical of Piedmont, a detail that increases the geological value of the piece.

These features 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 field 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 noted in the description.

Photographs are taken with professional lighting to best enhance colors and details; however, slight variations in tone 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, 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 deadlines, simply by contacting us to arrange the consolidation.

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