AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

From our selection of collectible minerals, we propose an aesthetic group of Quartz crystals from Maramureș County, Romania.

Moreover, it is characterized by a dense aggregation of prismatic and acicular crystals, with a bluish tone fading to white, arranged in a radiating fashion on matrix and with a pleasant transparency that enhances its aesthetic value and mineralogical importance.
The specimen stands out for the quality of crystallization and for the overall aesthetic balance, with features that highlight its natural structure and visual impact.

Quartz is one of the most widespread minerals on the Earth's crust, composed of silicon dioxide (SiO2) crystallized in the trigonal system; blueish hues may derive from microscopic inclusions or lattice defects in the crystalline structure. Maramureș County, in northern Romania, is historically known for its polymetallic deposits related to hydrothermal veins, which over the years have yielded numerous and prized collectible specimens.

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 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 and selected express couriers, with fast delivery (in many cases 1-2 working days in Europe), tracked and insured shipping and professional and safe packing, 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 deadlines, simply contacting us to arrange the accumulation. For important pieces, direct home delivery by appointment or at major European fairs is also available.

We remind you that you can see all the pieces up for auction at the following link: www.catawiki.com/it/u/16653967

Follow us also in the live auctions every Monday and Friday at 20:55!

If you would like to view videos, request additional information, or satisfy some curiosities about the pieces in CataWiki special auctions, do not hesitate to contact us. You can find other contacts here: www.italmineral.com/pages/contact
