Description from the seller

Campione: Smithsonite from Sardinia

• Sample description: Exceptional and aesthetically pleasing collection piece characterized by a rich and dense druse of microscopic smithsonite crystals, marked by a vivid, bright lemon-yellow and yellow-greenish coloration. The minutest crystals broadly cover a portion of the beige/beige rock matrix, displaying an extraordinary vitreous and pearly luster that creates splendid sparkling reflections across the entire surface.

• Brief locality description: Masua Mine, located in the Iglesias mining district (Sardinia), a historic site of global significance celebrated among collectors for its unique and spectacular cadmiferous smithsonite finds with intense yellow tones.

• Crystal therapy: This splendid stone is closely linked to the solar plexus energy; it is used in crystal therapy to infuse strong optimism, unlock creativity, release accumulated tension and stress, while also fostering deep personal security and inner joy.

• Basettes not included in the sale.

• NO EXTRA-EU SHIPPING
