AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This fascinating collectible specimen presents as a rich plate formed by a continuous carpet of white-ivory Dolomite crystals, characterized by the typical saddle or rhombohedral shape and a pearly luster. On this delicate surface emerge clear prismatic Quartz crystals, well terminated, some of which show suggestive inclusions that are greenish inside. To embellish and complete this paragenesis, there is a small yet sharp aggregate of Galena crystals in dark lead-gray color, whose polyhedral faces give a touch of pronounced metallic sheen.

The specimen comes from the Traversella Mine, Piedmont.

In crystal therapy, Dolomite is valued for its calming properties and emotional balance, ideal for promoting stability and relieving stress. Quartz acts as a powerful amplifier and a source of mental clarity, while Galena brings strong vibrations of grounding, centering, and spiritual harmony, supporting the individual in paths of transformation and inner search.

The stands are not included in the shipment.
