Red siderite with white aragonite crystals on matrix, from the Brosso Mine in Calea, Lessolo, Piedmont, Italy.
Description from the seller
Excellent specimen of Siderite (crystals on matrix) from the historic Brosso Mine, Calea, Lessolo (TO), Piedmont, Italy, completely natural and of considerable mineralogical value. The deep-red platy crystals form compact aggregates typical of this species, enhanced by delicate white acicular aragonite formations scattered across the surface; the specimen formed in an Alpine fissure environment, adding to its geological significance. These features enhance the specimen’s aesthetic and mineralogical value.
An ideal specimen for mineral collections and display, and for anyone who appreciates the natural beauty of minerals, including in the fields of crystal therapy and lithotherapy, in keeping with the properties traditionally attributed to this mineral species.
All minerals are 100% natural and untreated, with only very rare exceptions, which are always stated in the description. The photographs are taken under professional lighting to bring out the colors and details as clearly as possible; however, slight variations in shade may occur depending on the device or ambient lighting.
Shipping is carried out via reliable, carefully selected express couriers, with fast delivery (in many cases, 1–2 business days within Europe), tracked and insured shipping, and professional, secure packaging, as confirmed by customer reviews. Depending on the destination, delivery may also take place the day after payment.
You can combine multiple purchases and receive them in a single shipment, including items from auctions ending at different times; simply contact us to arrange combined shipping. For significant pieces, direct delivery by appointment is also available, either to your home or at major European trade fairs.
