AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Excellent specimen of Hessonite, a variety of Garnet, in association with Clinoclore and Diopside, from Val d'Ala (Valle di Lanzo, Turin), Piedmont - Italy, completely natural and of excellent mineralogical value. The Hessonite crystals exhibit a brilliant orange/red-brown coloration and are beautifully paired with characteristic green aggregates of Clinoclore in a habit of small rosettes, all on matrix; the find comes from an Alpine fissure, an element that further enhances its geologic and collecting value. These characteristics add aesthetic and mineralogical value to the piece.
This is an ideal specimen for mineral collections, display, and for those who appreciate the natural beauty of minerals, even in the realm of crystal therapy and lithotherapy, according to the properties traditionally associated with the mineral species.
All minerals are 100% natural and untreated, except for very rare occasions always noted in the description. The photographs are taken with professional lighting to best highlight 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), trackable and insured shipping, and professional and secure packaging, 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 by contacting us to arrange the consolidation. For important pieces, direct home delivery by appointment or at major European fairs is also available.
