AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

• Sample description: Extraordinary floating crystal (floating and matrix-free) of aragonite, characterized by a large and prominent central prismatic crystal, strongly striated, surrounded by a dense aggregation of smaller pseudo-hexagonal crystals. The sample shows the typical cyclic twinings of the species and fascinating shades ranging from gray-violet to pale translucent pink, with a delicate vitreous luster. A perfect three-dimensional piece, excellently finished on all sides and of high collectible value.

• Brief locality description: Minglanilla, in Cuenca province (Castilla-La Mancha), is one of the world’s most famous and classic mineral localities for aragonite. Its Triassic deposits are internationally renowned for producing the finest specimens of cycling “twin” and floating crystals with typical violet and amber tones.

• Crystal therapy note: In crystal therapy, aragonite (especially in its violet and pink variants) is considered a premier stone to promote patience, emotional stability, and grounding. It is used to combat mental stress, balance excess energies, and stimulate a clear expression of one’s creativity.

• Bases not included in the sale.

• NO EXTRA-EU SHIPPING
