AI-assisted summary

   

Description from the seller

From our selection of collectible minerals we present a splendid group of crystals on a Pink Quartz matrix from Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Moreover, it is characterized by a particular and unusual crystal formation for the species, with rosettes of pale pink and white crystals arranged on a greenish matrix, which enhances its aesthetic value and mineralogical importance. The specimen stands out for the quality of crystallization and for the overall aesthetic balance, with features that emphasize its natural structure and visual impact.

The pink color of quartz is generally attributed to traces of titanium and manganese, or to microscopic fibrous inclusions of dumortierite dispersed in the crystal lattice. Unlike more common solid masses, pink quartz rarely develops well-formed crystals, which makes specimens like this particularly sought after by collectors. Minas Gerais, in Brazil, is one of the world's most famous regions for quartz variety and quality, thanks to the numerous granite pegmatites that characterize its subsurface.

This is an ideal specimen for mineral collections, display, and for those who appreciate the natural beauty of minerals, also in the context 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 noted 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 and selected express couriers, with fast delivery (in many cases 1-2 working days in Europe), tracked and insured shipment and professional and safe packing, as confirmed by customer reviews. Deliveries can also occur the day after payment depending on destination.

It is possible to combine multiple purchases and have them shipped in a single package, also from auctions with different end dates, simply contact us to organize the consolidation. For important pieces, direct home delivery or delivery at major European fairs by appointment is also available.

We remind you that you can see all pieces in the auction at the following link: www.catawiki.com/it/u/16653967

Follow us also in the live auctions every Monday and Friday at 20:55!
