AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Campione: Magnetite, Pyrite and Talc from Brosso

• Descrizione campione: Extraordinary and impressive aggregation characterized by large polyhedral and octahedral crystals of magnetite, with the typical dark iron-gray and opaque black color, strong sub-metallic luster, and well-developed faces. In perfect structural contrast stand small globular iridescent aggregates and crystalline nodules of golden and bronze pyrite, laid on veins and microcrystalline white-bloom talc masses and minuscule aggregates of brown-orange siderite.

• Descrizione breve della località: Historic and very famous skarn mineral deposit located in the municipality of Brosso (Valchiusella, Turin), internationally renowned since ancient Roman times for iron extraction and for its unique collecting specimens.

• Cristalloterapia: This complex association is an exceptional shielding and grounding tool; magnetite aligns the body’s energy flows and stimulates stability and spiritual resilience, pyrite promotes prosperity and willpower in the solar plexus, while talc imparts a sense of calm and global purification to all chakras.

• Basette non incluse nella vendita.

• NO SPEDIZIONE EXTRA UE
