AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Splendid, highly lustrous, gemmy Analcime crystals are accompanied by Thomsonite in rounded aggregates of brilliant-white radiating crystals, with scalenohedral Calcite. An interesting and attractive specimen, personally collected during roadworks on the Osilo–Nulvi road in the 1980s. The locality is now completely exhausted.
Photographed under intense lighting.
The specimen was photographed under intense professional lighting to best highlight its details and color. Any slight differences in color tones depend on the settings of the device used and/or exposure to ambient or artificial light with a different color temperature.

Seller's Story
We have been collectors since 1972, present as exhibitors at the main mineral exhibitions in Italy and some European ones (Sainte-Marie-Aux-Mines, Monaco, etc.), where you can find us to get to know us in person, exchange opinions, talk about our beloved minerals and, should the auctions end close to an exhibition, deliver your samples directly.
All proposed minerals, unless otherwise specified, are photographed using a strong light source, to better show the colors and details of the sample.
If you buy multiple minerals in the same auction, we will ship them together and you will only pay the higher shipping costs.
