ESTETICA YELLOW FLUORITE WITH GOLDEN MARCASITE, crystals on matrix from Moscona Mine, El Pontón de Solís, Corvera de Asturias, Asturias, Spain.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
From our selection of collectible minerals, we propose a splendid group of Fluorite with Marcasite crystals coming from the Moscona Mine, Asturias, Spain.
Moreover, it is characterized by a dense geode of golden yellow cuboctahedral Fluorite crystals that fades toward amber and orange tones toward the center, with small Marcasite crystals showing a golden metallic luster dispersed on the surface, as well as a noted fluorescence under UV light, features that increase its aesthetic value and mineralogical significance. The specimen stands out for the quality of crystallization and for its overall aesthetic balance, with characteristics that enhance its natural structure and visual impact.
The Moscona Mine, in the Asturias district, is one of the most renowned Spanish localities for the production of high-quality collectible fluorites, often characterized by color zoning due to impurities and lattice defects in the crystal. Marcasite, orthorhombic polymorph of pyrite with formula FeS2, differs from pyrite in crystal structure and tends to exhibit a characteristic golden-bronze reflection when present in small crystals associated with other minerals.
This is an ideal specimen for mineral collections, display, and for those who appreciate the natural beauty of minerals, also within 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 showcase colors and details; however, slight variations in shade 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 business days in Europe), trackable and insured shipping and professional, safe packaging, as confirmed by customer reviews. Deliveries may 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 end dates, simply contact us to arrange the consolidation. For important pieces, direct home delivery by appointment or at major European fairs is also available.
