AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Superb specimen rich in numerous crystals of Spessartine (dark garnet variety Spessartine), Quartz and Opal from China, which wholly covers the feldspathic matrix. The crystals are fantastic, large in size, well-formed, allowing the naked eye to see all crystallization faces. Impressive dark orangey-red color that creates a very aesthetically pleasing color contrast with the lighter matrix. There are several Opal crystallizations in various points of the mineral that glow in green fluorescence when exposed to ultraviolet light.

This is an ideal specimen for mineral collections, display, and for those who appreciate the natural beauty of minerals, also in the realm of crystal therapy and lithotherapy, according to the properties traditionally associated with the mineral species.

All minerals are 100% natural and untreated, except for rare exceptions always indicated in the description. The photographs are taken with professional lighting to best enhance colors and details; however, slight variations in shade may occur depending on the device or ambient light.

Shipping is carried out via reliable and selected express couriers, with fast delivery (in many cases 1-2 working days in Europe), tracked and insured shipping and professional and safe packing, as confirmed by customer reviews. Deliveries can also occur the day after payment depending on the destination.

It is possible to accumulate multiple purchases and receive them in a single shipment, also from auctions with different deadlines, simply contacting us to arrange the consolidation. For important pieces, direct home delivery by appointment or at major European fairs is also available.
