AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
From our selection of collectible minerals we present an aesthetic group of clear quartz crystals from Castagnola, Ferriere, Piacenza, Emilia-Romagna.
Moreover, it is characterized by a dense and compact aggregation of terminated prismatic crystals, transparent and with shades from white to golden yellow due to thin iron inclusions, arranged radially to form a suggestive sea-urchin-like shape 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 exalt its natural structure and visual impact.
Quartz is silicon dioxide (SiO2) and represents one of the most common minerals in the Earth's crust, crystallizing in the trigonal system. The yellowish hues observable on many specimens are due to traces of iron oxides deposited during or after crystal growth. The Piacenza Apennines, in the Ferriere area, are known among collectors for the production of beautiful geodes and groups of clear quartz that developed in cracks and cavities of local rocks.
This is an ideal specimen for mineral collections, display, and for those who appreciate the natural beauty of minerals, also 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 indicated in the description. Photographs are taken with professional lighting to best highlight colors and details; however, slight tonal variations may occur depending on the device or ambient light.
Shipping is carried out via reliable and carefully 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 occur 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 contact us to arrange the consolidation. For important pieces, direct delivery by appointment to your home or at major European fairs is also available.
