AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
In the geode, a number of Weloganite crystals of a delicate pale yellow color are on proud display, some centimeters in size, gleaming, sometimes coated with a white patina of Dresserite, also present inside the geode. A few small Calcite crystals are also present. Found in the 1970s, this sample comes from a quarry that has been inactive for decades.
The sample is photographed under intense professional lighting to best highlight details and color. Any slight variations in color tones depend on the device settings used and/or exposure to ambient or artificial light of different color temperatures.

Seller's Story
We have been collectors since 1972, present as exhibitors at the main mineral exhibitions in Italy and some European ones (Sainte-Marie-Aux-Mines, Monaco, etc.), where you can find us to get to know us in person, exchange opinions, talk about our beloved minerals and, should the auctions end close to an exhibition, deliver your samples directly.
All proposed minerals, unless otherwise specified, are photographed using a strong light source, to better show the colors and details of the sample.
If you buy multiple minerals in the same auction, we will ship them together and you will only pay the higher shipping costs.
