AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This extraordinary specimen shows rich crystallization of Magnetite associated with Talc, characterized by a complex and fascinating three-dimensionality. Notably, a large principal Magnetite crystal stands out, well developed, with well-defined polyhedral geometric faces and a typical sub-metallic dark gray luster. Around it, a dense spread of smaller crystals of the same angular forms develops, contrasting sharply with the white-cream Talc matrix, translucent and partly granular, creating a piece with a strong sculptural and aesthetic impact.

The specimen comes from the Brosso Mine, Val Chiusella.

In crystal therapy, Magnetite is considered a stone of exceptional grounding, stability, and balance, traditionally used to align the body's energy flows and stimulate the vital force. The presence of Talc brings deep vibrations of calm, serenity, and purification, working in synergy to promote mental relaxation and dispel daily stress.

The basettes are not included in the shipment.
