Description from the seller

Rare specimen of yellow spherical Fluorite on quartzite, completely natural, of excellent mineralogical and aesthetic value. This sample is characterized by good crystal formation that allows appreciating the shapes of the crystal faces. The crystals grown, in a natural and excellent way, possess intense colors. Moreover, this specimen is characterized by high form, colors and rarity.

Fluorite is known for its fluorescence when exposed to UV rays; from this property its name derives. In addition, high-purity fluorite crystals are used in precision optical systems for their low chromatic dispersion and high transmission in the ultraviolet and infrared regions.

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. Photographs are taken with professional lighting to best enhance colors and details; however, slight variations in hue may occur depending on the device or ambient light.

Shipping is carried out via reliable express couriers with fast delivery (in many cases 1-2 working days in Europe), tracked and insured shipping and professional and safe packing, 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 end dates, simply by contacting us to organize the consolidation. For important pieces, direct delivery by appointment to the home or at major European fairs is also available.
