AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Splendid specimen rich in numerous crystals of Spessartine (dark variety of garnet Spessartine), Quartz and Opal from China, which fully covers the feldspar matrix. Fantastic crystals, of large size, well-formed, that allow the naked eye to see all the crystallization faces. Impressive deep red-orange color that produces a very aesthetic color contrast, with the lighter matrix. There are several Opal crystallizations in various spots of the mineral that stand out in green fluorescence when exposed to ultraviolet light.
This 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, except for very 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 express couriers selected, 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.
