AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Lot of 30 pieces of red siderite from the Brosso Mine, Valchiusella
• Sample description: An exceptional multiple lot comprising as many as 30 small selected samples of siderite, ideal for systematic collections, study, or re-beading/trading. Each piece shows the typical and sought-after habit of a "rosette" or cresting lenticular aggregates, distinguished by an intense, lively, and warm brick-red to reddish-brown coloration due to hematite patinas. The crystals feature well-defined faces and a splendid three-dimensional texture, partly resting on fragments of iron-rich matrix. A varied and very rich assemblage that offers a comprehensive glimpse into the aesthetic beauty of this variety.
• Brief locality description: The historic Brosso Mine, set in the splendid backdrop of Valchiusella in Piedmont, is one of Italy’s classic mining sites famous worldwide. Renowned since Roman times for its iron-rich deposits, it is legendary for producing the finest Italian examples of crystallized siderite in splendid parageneses with oxides and sulfides.
• Crystal therapy note: In crystal therapy, red siderite is considered a formidable stone for energetic stability and deep grounding. Associated with the root chakra, it is used to instill courage during times of change, align one’s physical energies with those of the Earth, and promote a strong sense of security and inner centering.
• The piece sizes vary from 1.5 to 5 cm.
• Bases not included in the sale.
• NO SHIPPING OUTSIDE THE EU
