AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This exceptional specimen showcases a fascinating association between Siderite and Calcite, characterized by strong aesthetic impact and color contrast. The Siderite appears in distinctive globular aggregates and nodular formations of warm reddish-brown and orange hues, with finely rough and opaque surfaces. These iron-rich nodules rest on a dense, brilliant matrix covered by countless tiny Calcite crystals in ivory-white and translucent tones, which partially envelope the structure, creating a rich three-dimensional dynamic full of sculptural details.

The specimen comes from the Estelette Glacier, Mont Blanc.

In crystal therapy, Siderite is considered a stone of strong grounding and stability, ideal for promoting concentration, alignment of the chakras, and determination during moments of change. Calcite, on the other hand, acts as a powerful energy amplifier, capable of purifying the surrounding environment, stimulating the mind, and imparting deep spiritual harmony and inner serenity.

The bases are not included in the shipment.
