AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
From our selection of collectible minerals, we propose a rare group of Hematite crystals with Adularia from Binn, Valais, Switzerland.
Moreover, it is characterized by numerous bright black Hematite crystals, tabular and aggregated, disseminated on a light matrix with Adularia crystals, which enhances its aesthetic value and mineralogical significance.
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.
Hematite is an iron oxide (Fe2O3) whose name derives from the Greek 'haima', blood, referring to the red color of its powder, even when compact crystals appear black and shiny as in this specimen. The Binn area, in Valais, is one of the Alps’ most celebrated localities for mineralogy, especially known for alpine fissures rich in well-formed crystals and for its unusual association with rare sulfo-salts, in addition to more common minerals like Adularia, a potassium feldspar variety typical of this geological environment.
This is an ideal specimen for mineral collections, display, and for those who appreciate the natural beauty of minerals, also in the field of crystal therapy and lithotherapy, according to the properties traditionally associated with the mineral species.
All minerals are 100% natural and untreated, except for rare exceptions always indicated in the description. The photographs are taken with professional lighting to best enhance colors and details; however, slight variations in tone may occur depending on the device or ambient light.
Shipping is carried out via reliable and selected 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 take place 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 arrange the consolidation. For important pieces, direct home delivery by appointment or at major European fairs is also available.
