AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An excellent specimen of spessartine, a variety of garnet, in association with Smoky Quartz and Muscovite, from Wushan, Tongbei, Yunxiao, Zhangzhou, in Fujian Province, China, completely natural and of excellent mineralogical value. The spessartine crystals, with the characteristic intense red-orange color, form a dense druse on which elegant prisms of Smoky Quartz rise with a clearly visible termination, while a sheet of Muscovite enriches the composition with its typical pearly luster. These features add aesthetic and mineralogical value to the piece.
This 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, with 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 through reliable and carefully selected express couriers, with fast delivery (in many cases 1-2 business 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.
You can accumulate 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 home delivery by appointment or at major European fairs is also available.
