AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

• Description of the sample: An exceptional lot consisting of 7 assorted historic samples containing rhombohedral siderite crystallizations (with the typical desert-rose formations), barite crusted, gleaming calcite, colorless quartz, and saddle-shaped dolomite.

• Location: Brosso and Traversella Mines, Valchiusella, Turin, Piedmont, Italy. A historic and iconic Alpine mining complex of worldwide fame, renowned among collectors for the extraordinary mineral variety linked to the particular contacts between the pluton and the mica schists.

• Crystal therapy: This combination embodies a powerful energetic synergy: siderite provides stability, patience, and grounding in difficult moments; calcite favors the flow of clean energy; barite promotes independence; and clear quartz acts as a spiritual amplifier and general purifier.

• Bases not included in the sale.

• No extra-EU shipping
