AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Splendid lot consisting of 2 collectible pieces of Hessonite Garnet from the historic Val di Viù, in Italy.
The samples stand out for an extraordinary and evident geological feature: they clearly show two superimposed generations of garnets.
The base consists of an initial formation of crystals, above which a later second generation of Hessonite garnets grew.
The latter develops into splendid isolated and aggregated crystals, characterized by perfectly formed faces, sharp edges, a very high vitreous luster, and an intense orange-reddish color, typical of the finest varieties of this alpine mineral species.
The pieces measure 4–5 cm.
In crystal therapy, hessonite garnet is associated with grounding, vitality, and energetic regeneration. This specific double-generation formation symbolically amplifies concepts of personal evolution, rebirth, and overcoming past blocks, fostering self-esteem, courage, and the alignment of the lower chakras for renewed inner strength.
The bases and supports shown in the photo are for display purposes only and are not included in the sale.
NO EXTRA-EU SHIPPING.
