AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
From our selection of collectible minerals we offer an aesthetically pleasing group of Calcite crystals from Longyan, Fujian, China.
It is also characterized by aggregates of yellow-orange Calcite crystals arranged in globular clusters on a white-grayish matrix, with a particular fluorescence reported on the piece caused by an unidentified mineral, which increases 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.
Calcite is one of the most widespread minerals in the Earth's crust, and its yellow-orange coloration is often linked to traces of impurities, such as iron oxide inclusions or organic substances trapped during crystal growth. The Fujian province in China has become in recent decades a well-known locality among collectors for Calcite specimens with intense colors and well-developed crystal aggregates. Fluorescence in Calcite is generally attributed to the presence of manganese ions acting as activator centers under UV lamp, a phenomenon that can manifest in different and sometimes unusual ways from specimen to specimen.
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, in line with the properties traditionally associated with the mineral species.
All minerals are 100% natural and untreated, except for rare exceptions always indicated in the description. Photographs are taken with professional lighting to best enhance colors and details; however, slight variations in shade may occur depending on the device or ambient light.
Shipping is carried out through reliable express couriers, with fast delivery (in many cases 1-2 working days in Europe), tracked and insured shipping and professional and safe packaging, as confirmed by customer reviews. Deliveries can also occur 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 accumulation. For important pieces, direct home delivery by appointment or at major European fairs is also available.
