AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
From our selection of collectible minerals, we propose an aesthetically pleasing group of Quartz Laté (Milky Quartz) crystals from Arbus, Sardinia.
Furthermore, it is characterized by numerous well-formed prismatic crystals tightly intergrown, arranged in a dense aggregate on a matrix, with the typical milky white coloration interrupted by ochre-brown hues due to iron oxides, which enhance its aesthetic value and mineralogical significance. The specimen stands out for the quality of crystallization and for its overall aesthetic balance, with features that highlight its natural structure and visual impact.
The milky white color of quartz does not depend on chemical impurities but on the presence of microscopic fluid inclusions and tiny cavities within the crystal lattice, which scatter light and make the crystal opaque rather than transparent like rock crystal (milky quartz). Southwestern Sardinia, a historically known area for hydrothermal mineralizations related to the Sulcis-Iglesiente-Guspine district, has yielded over time numerous quartz specimens of good aesthetic quality. The ochre patinas visible on the crystal faces are due to iron oxides and hydroxides deposited after crystal growth.
This is an ideal specimen for mineral collections, display, and for those who appreciate the natural beauty of minerals, also in the context of crystal therapy and lithotherapy, according to traditionally associated properties with the mineral species.
All minerals are 100% natural and untreated, except for very rare exceptions always noted in the description. The 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 via reliable, 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 combine multiple purchases and receive them in a single shipment, even from auctions with different end dates, simply contact us to organize the consolidation. For important pieces, direct home delivery by appointment or at major European fairs is also available.
