AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

From a legendary locality for Italian mineralogy, this Barite sample features transparent crystals of a pale blue hue, developed in the cavities of the quartz matrix. Other Barite crystals, smaller and pink in color, speckle the matrix a bit on nearly every side. For demanding collectors, not to be missed! Photographed under intense light.

The sample is photographed under strong professional lighting to best highlight details and color. Any slight variations in color tones depend on the device settings used and/or exposure to ambient or artificial light of different color temperatures.

Seller's Story

We have been collectors since 1972, present as exhibitors at the main mineral exhibitions in Italy and some European ones (Sainte-Marie-Aux-Mines, Monaco, etc.), where you can find us to get to know us in person, exchange opinions, talk about our beloved minerals and, should the auctions end close to an exhibition, deliver your samples directly. All proposed minerals, unless otherwise specified, are photographed using a strong light source, to better show the colors and details of the sample. If you buy multiple minerals in the same auction, we will ship them together and you will only pay the higher shipping costs.
