AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
From our selection of collectible minerals, we present a splendid group of crystals on a Fluorite matrix with Calcite from the Moscona Mine, Asturias, Spain.
Moreover, it features Fluorite crystals of an intense yellow color with sharp, well-developed faces, topped by a translucent white Calcite crystal that creates a pleasant color contrast, as well as a distinctive fluorescence observed under UV lamp, elements that enhance its aesthetic value and mineralogical significance.
The specimen stands out for the quality of crystallization and the overall aesthetic balance, with features that enhance its natural structure and visual impact.
The Asturias region, in northern Spain, is one of the world’s best-known districts for collectible fluorite, with mines such as Moscona, La Collada and Berbes that in recent decades have yielded museum-quality specimens. The yellow color of fluorite is related to lattice defects and color centers that form in the mineral during growth, often in association with natural irradiation or traces of trace elements. The fluorescence of fluorite, generally in blue or violet tones under UV light, is due to the presence of small amounts of rare earths, such as europium, embedded in the crystal structure.
This is an ideal specimen for mineral collections, display, and for those who appreciate the natural beauty of minerals, also in the context 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 showcase 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 secure packing, as confirmed by customer reviews. Deliveries can also occur 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 by contacting us to organize the consolidation. For important pieces, direct home delivery by appointment or at major European fairs is also available.
