AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Sample: Spessartine Garnet on Tongbei Orthoclase

• Sample description: An extraordinary and exceptional collector's piece characterized by numerous and lustrous isolated crystals of spessartine garnet, with perfect trapezoidal habit and a deep gem red color tending toward orange. The crystals, crisp and strongly translucent, are magnificently laid on a geometric matrix of large tabular orthoclase feldspar crystals of cream color, which create a chromatic and structural contrast of the highest aesthetic level.

• Brief locality description: A small mountainous area located in Tongbei, Yunxiao County (Fujian Province), internationally regarded as one of the world's most famous localities for the exceptional and aesthetic association of garnets and miarolitic feldspars.

• Crystal therapy: This splendid stone is a powerful catalyst of vital energy and creativity; it strongly stimulates the sacral and root chakras, infusing charisma, increasing self-confidence, and supporting the mind in overcoming emotional blocks related to deep fears.

• Bases not included in the sale.

• No shipping outside the EU
