AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Calcite with Pyrite from the Traversella Mine, Valchiusella
• Sample description: Beautiful collectible specimen characterized by an extensive coverage of translucent calcite crystals, ranging from white to light gray, with a well-developed rhombohedral habit and clearly defined faces. Inside fissures and in the interstices between the crystals stand out numerous bright crystalline aggregates of golden pyrite, capable of creating an extremely aesthetic color contrast, typical and classic for this famous Piedmont mineral association.
• Brief locality description: Traversella Mine, Valchiusella (Turin, Piedmont, Italy) – A historic and hugely famous alpine skarn deposit of international significance, renowned since ancient times for its extraordinary mineral wealth and for having provided world-unique museum-quality samples.
• Crystal therapy note: In crystal therapy, the combination of calcite and pyrite unites the purifying and energy-amplifying properties of the former with the strong protective, grounding, and prosperity-stimulating action of the latter, promoting determination, mental clarity, and balance of the energy centers.
• Notes: Bases not included in the sale.
• Shipping: NO EXTRA-EU SHIPPING
