AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
From our selection of collectible minerals we present a splendid group of Quartz Crystals from Castagnola, Ferriere, in the province of Piacenza.
In addition, it is characterized by a dense radiating aggregation of prismatic and terminated crystals, with the distinctive form of a crystallized “crested” growth on all sides, in white candido color and with a glossy, well-defined surface that enhances its aesthetic value and mineralogical importance.
The sample stands out for the quality of crystallization and for the overall aesthetic balance, with features that emphasize its natural structure and visual impact.
Quartz is silicon dioxide (SiO2) and crystallizes in the trigonal system; it is one of the most common minerals in the Earth's crust, endowed with piezoelectric properties that are exploited in technology as well. In the Piacenza Apennines, as in the Ferriere area, clear quartz is often found in hydrothermal veins within sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, where it can develop into splendid groups of prismatic crystals. The white color and translucence of the specimen are due to minute fluid inclusions and internal microfractures that scatter light.
This is an ideal specimen for mineral collections, display, and for those who appreciate the natural beauty of minerals, including in the realm of crystal therapy and lithotherapy, according to the properties traditionally associated with the mineral species.
All minerals are 100% natural and untreated, with rare exceptions always noted in the description. Photographs are taken with professional lighting to best enhance colors and details; however, slight color variations 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 working days in Europe), tracked and insured shipping, and professional and secure packing, as confirmed by customer reviews. Deliveries may also occur the day after payment depending on the destination.
It is possible to combine multiple purchases into a single shipment, also from auctions with different deadlines, simply contacting us to arrange consolidation. For important pieces, direct home delivery by appointment or at major European fairs is also available.
