AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Excellent gypsum specimen from Tuscany, Italy, completely natural, of excellent mineralogical value.
This sample features a very aesthetic and brilliant gypsum crystal that reaches 6.4 cm. Furthermore, viewed from certain angles it shows pink/green iridescences.
Its Tuscan provenance is known for ancient evaporitic deposits formed millions of years ago in marine environments, now extinct. A very interesting mineral from a geological point of view and highly valued by collectors.
A unique piece of nature, ideal for enriching high-level mineral collections and perfect for decorating exclusive interiors thanks to its high aesthetic value. Many people attribute healing properties to minerals; the uses for crystal therapy and lithotherapy should not be underestimated.
The photos are taken in a dedicated setup with intense lighting so as not to alter the colors, but it is recommended to display minerals in well-lit environments to fully appreciate their tones.
Shipping usually takes place the next day, with tracking and careful packaging. Multiple orders from the same customer will be grouped and any excess shipping charges refunded. :)
