AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Excellent specimen of siderite with calcite coming from the Brosso Mine, Calea, Lessolo (Turin), Piedmont, Italy, completely natural and of notable mineralogical value. The characteristic lamellar siderite crystals, with the typical brown-reddish color, appear associated with small transparent calcite crystals, with an alpine fissure formation that highlights its geological value; moreover, this specimen is bidirectional, showing crystallization on both faces. These features add aesthetic and mineralogical value to the piece.
It is an ideal specimen for mineralogical 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, save for rare exceptions always noted in the description. The photographs are taken with professional lighting to best enhance colors and details; however, slight tonal variations 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 business days in Europe), tracked and insured shipment and professional and safe packaging, as confirmed by customer reviews. Deliveries can also occur the day after payment, depending on the destination.
