AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
From our selection of collectible minerals we propose an aesthetic cluster of Clear Quartz (Ialino) from Castagnola, Ferriere, in the province of Piacenza.
Additionally, it is characterized by a bidirectional arrangement of white and yellowish prismatic crystals, transparent and lustrous, densely arranged on both sides of the matrix, with shapes and density that enhance its aesthetic value and mineralogical significance. The specimen stands out for the quality of crystallization and for the overall aesthetic balance, with features that highlight its natural structure and visual impact.
Clear quartz (SiO2) owes its transparency to an almost impurity-free crystal structure, while the yellowish tints are often linked to thin films of iron oxides on the crystal surfaces. The Piacenza Apennines, and in particular the Ferriere area, are well known among collectors for quartz formation in fissures and cavities of sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, where hydrothermal circulations over time favored the growth of well-formed crystals.
This is an ideal specimen for mineral collections, display, and for those who appreciate the natural beauty of minerals, including 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. 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 business days within Europe), tracked 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 contact us to organize the consolidation. For important pieces, direct delivery by appointment to your home or at major European fairs is also available.
