AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An aesthetically pleasing group of pentagonal dodecahedral (and cuboctahedral) crystals with an intense, gleaming golden color. This specimen is characterized by excellent crystal formation that allows one to appreciate the shapes of the crystal faces. The crystals formed naturally in an excellent way possess vivid colors.

A unique piece of nature, ideal for enriching high-level mineral collections and perfect for decorating exclusive environments thanks to its high aesthetic value. Many people believe minerals have healing properties; their uses in crystal therapy and lithotherapy should not be underestimated.

The photos are taken in a dedicated setup with bright lighting to avoid altering the colors, but it is recommended to display the 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. :)
