AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This spectacular specimen presents itself as an imposing slab entirely covered by a dense and rich crystallization of Siderite, whose small crystals develop into a compact aggregate with warm orange-brown-reddish and ocher tones. The mineral surface, strongly three-dimensional and geometric, is further enhanced by nests and scattered groups of brilliant Pyrite crystals. The latter, with their classic cubic and well-defined polyhedral shapes, show a pronounced metallic golden luster that creates a chromatic and material contrast of exceptional aesthetic impact.

The sample comes from the Giarinere shaft in the Brosso Mine, Piedmont.

In crystal therapy, Siderite is a stone of strong rootedness and inner balance, traditionally used to instill emotional stability, align the chakras and develop determination in moments of change. Pyrite acts in synergy as a powerful protective shield, stimulating willpower, self-confidence and the ability to manifest one’s vital energy and prosperity.

The bases are not included in the shipment.
