AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Splendid and classic collectible gypsum specimen, Selenite variety, from the famous and historic Niccioleta mine (Grosseto, Tuscany), a site long closed and highly sought after by collectors of Italian mineralogy.
The piece presents in the classic "Small Cabinet" size, very balanced and three-dimensional. On the mineralized rock matrix rises an exceptional main spear-point crystal, characterized by gem-quality transparency and clarity of extraordinary quality. The color contrast between the dark base and the crystal's purity gives the specimen great visual impact in a display case.
• Minerals present: Gypsum (selenite variety) and small crystals of pyrite
• Locality: Nicchioleta Mine, Massa Marittima, Grosseto, Tuscany, Italy
