AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A superb specimen rich in numerous crystals of Spessartine (the dark variety of garnet), Quartz and Opal from China, which entirely covers the feldspathic matrix. The crystals are fantastic, large in size, well-formed, and allow the naked eye to see all the crystal faces. Impressive dark orange-red color that creates a very aesthetically pleasing color contrast with the lighter matrix. There are several Opal crystal formations at various points of the mineral that stand out in green fluorescence when exposed to ultraviolet light.

It 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, with rare exceptions always noted 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 and tested 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.

It is possible to combine multiple purchases and receive them in a single shipment, even from auctions with different end dates, simply by contacting us to arrange the consolidation. For important pieces, direct delivery by appointment to your home or at major European fairs is also available.
