AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Sample: Marcasite and Calcite from Illinois
• Description of the specimen: A splendid and aesthetic collectable specimen characterized by a widespread druse of white-pink calcite crystals, arranged in characteristic spheroidal and botryoidal structures with vitreous and pearly luster. On the surface stand out, in strong contrast, numerous bright, well-defined nodules of marcasite, with the typical metallic brass-yellow color and fascinating golden and iridescent reflections.
• Brief locality description: Lead and zinc mining district of northwestern Illinois (near Galena), famous in the history of mineralogy for its spectacular cavities and geodes rich in sulfides and carbonates, associated with extremely high aesthetics.
• Crystal therapy: This combination unites the purifying properties of calcite with the protective properties of marcasite; it is used to shield against negative energies, stimulate willpower, enhance mental clarity, and balance the root and solar plexus chakras.
• Bases not included in the sale.
• NO EXTRA-EU SHIPPING
