AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Excellent specimen of Calcite from San Giovanni, Bindua, Iglesias, in Sardinia, completely natural, of excellent mineral value. The main crystal, measuring as much as 16.5 cm, presents an intense orange color and shows a twin with a perfectly developed double termination, a feature that makes the piece particularly scenic and sought after by collectors. These characteristics 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, 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 variations in tone 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 packaging, as confirmed by customer reviews. Deliveries can also take place the day after payment depending on the destination.
