AI-assisted summary

   

Description from the seller

From our selection of collectible minerals we propose a splendid group of cubic Fluorite crystals with Pyrite from Wuyi, in Zhejiang Province, China.

Moreover, it is characterized by the vivid color contrast between the sharp transparent green cubic Fluorite crystals and the golden aggregates of Pyrite that partially cover its faces, elements that increase its aesthetic value and mineralogical importance.
The specimen stands out for the quality of crystallization and for the overall aesthetic balance, with features that enhance its natural structure and visual impact.

The green color of Fluorite is generally linked to impurities or lattice defects (color centers) that modify light absorption in the crystal, while the perfect octahedral cleavage and the cubic habit are a direct consequence of its isometric structure. The mines of Zhejiang Province, in China, have become in recent decades one of the world’s most appreciated sources of cubic green Fluorite associated with Pyrite. Pyrite, iron sulfide with the typical metallic golden luster, often deposits together with Fluorite in hydrothermal environments at low-medium temperature.

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 rare exceptions always indicated in the description. The photographs are taken with professional lighting to best enhance colors and details; however, slight variations in shade may occur depending on the device or ambient light.

Shipping is carried out via reliable express couriers and 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 take place 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 organize the accumulation. For important pieces, direct delivery by appointment to home or at major European fairs is also available.
