AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Sample: Pyrite with Quartz from Brosso

• Description of the sample: An extraordinary and aesthetic collector's specimen consisting of a large, imposing matrix entirely covered by a dense and geometric druse of tiny pyrite crystals, with a metallic pale brass-gold and bronze luster. On the surface unfolds a magnificent and widespread association of prismatic, colorless, well-formed quartz crystals, growing isolated or arranged in characteristic radiating groups, creating an exceptional visual and structural contrast with the sulfide base.

• Short local description: Historic and famous mining deposit located in the municipality of Brosso, in Valchiusella (Turin), internationally renowned for its complex hydrothermal skarn bodies rich in exceptional iron oxides and sulfides.

• Crystal therapy: This powerful combination blends the protective and grounding properties of pyrite with the amplifying qualities of clear quartz; it is indicated to shield against negative energies, stimulate willpower in the solar plexus chakra, foster deep mental clarity, and increase overall physical vitality.

• Bases not included in the sale.

• No shipping outside the EU
