Description from the seller
Imposing specimen of crystallized gypsum (selenite variety) on matrix, characterized by an extensive three-dimensional formation composed of numerous translucent and whitish crystals of different sizes.
The specimen stands out especially for its remarkable dimensions and a weight of about 15.40 kg, which give it a strong visual presence. The crystals exhibit tabular and prismatic forms, with interesting variations in transparency and numerous secondary crystallizations distributed on the matrix.
Dimensions: about 40 × 30 cm
Weight: about 15.40 kg
Mineral: Gypsum – Selenite variety
Form: Cluster / crystals on matrix
Area: Sicily, Italy
Extraction locality: not documented
The specimen was purchased in Sicily; since documentation related to the exact place of extraction is not available, it is not attributed to a specific mine.
Photographs are an integral part of the description and show in detail the state of preservation. Being a large natural mineral specimen, there are irregularities, cracks, and incomplete terminations, consistent with the delicate nature of gypsum.
Large-format piece, ideal as a collection specimen, mineralogical display, or decorative element.
Will be shipped with professional packaging, particularly careful, suitable for the weight and fragility of the specimen.
Seller's Story
I grew up among glass and light. Every piece I propose is not just an object, but a small part of history that is reborn. In my workshop in Sicily, I collect antique chandeliers and Murano pieces, restore them with artisanal care, and transform them into unique works, always respecting the original soul of the glass.
My work is a bridge between the past and the present: on one side, the tradition of master glassmakers, and on the other, the creativity that leads me to create customized lamps and chandeliers, tailored for those who want something special.
Every shipment is personally overseen: professional packaging, available spare parts, and assistance with assembly. For me, it's not just a job but a passion that brightens homes and preserves the beauty of Murano glass.
