AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Sample description:
Lot composed of 7 splendid Magnetite specimens associated with Talc and Pyrite, with measurements ranging from 6 to 10 cm. The pieces feature sharp octahedral and rhombododecahedral magnetite crystals, with the typical black glossy color and pronounced magnetic properties. The dark crystals stand out magnificently against the white talc matrix and are adorned with small bright and golden intrusions of pyrite. A classic Piedmontese lot, very aesthetically pleasing, sold entirely as a block.

Origin:
Brosso Mine, Valchiusella, Metropolitan City of Turin (Piedmont, Italy). A historic and very famous Alpine mining site known internationally for the extraordinary mineralization of its skarns and for having produced the finest Italian samples of magnetite, hematite and pyrite.

In crystal therapy, magnetite is considered a powerful grounding and energetic alignment stone. Used to balance the body's flows and stimulate regeneration, it works in perfect synergy with Talc, which promotes purity and inner calm, and with Pyrite, which infuses vitality, a protective shield, and determination.

Note:
The display bases in plexiglass visible in the photos are not included in the sale.
