Alpino siderite with calcite on matrix from the Brosso Mine, Calea, Lessolo (TO), Piedmont, Italy.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Excellent specimen of siderite with calcite (crystals on matrix) from the Brosso Mine, Calea, Lessolo (Turin), Piedmont, Italy, completely natural and of notable mineralogical value. The characteristic lamellar siderite crystals, with their typical brown-reddish color, appear associated with small transparent calcite crystals arranged in a hinge, with a formation typical of Alpine fissures that enhances its geological value; furthermore this specimen is two-faced, presenting crystallizations on both faces. 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 realm 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 indicated 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 working days in Europe), tracked and insured shipping and professional and safe packaging, as confirmed by customer reviews. Deliveries can also occur 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 arrange the consolidation. For important pieces, direct home delivery by appointment or at major European fairs is also available.
