AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

From our selection of collectible minerals we propose a rare specimen with Rosolite matrix crystal on Rosa-variety grossular garnet, from Sierra de Cruces, Coahuila, Mexico.

Moreover, it is characterized by numerous pink intense color, well-developed, dodecahedral crystals, arranged in a group on the light-colored matrix, with a pleasant color contrast and good definition of crystal faces, which 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.

Rosolite is a pink variety of grossular garnet whose color is attributed to traces of manganese within the crystal lattice of the garnet. The Sierra Mojada area, in Coahuila state, is known among collectors for yielding some of the most beautiful specimens of this variety, formed in contact skarn between carbonate rocks and magmatic intrusions. The name itself, from the Latin 'roseus', recalls the pink hue characteristic of these crystals.

This is an ideal specimen for mineral collections, display, and for those who appreciate the natural beauty of minerals, even 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, with 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 shipping and professional and safe packing, 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 consolidation. For important pieces, direct delivery by appointment at home or at major European fairs is also available.

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