Description from the seller

From the collection of minerals, completely natural, museum-quality, and rare: this specimen of Melnikovite is presented for its high aesthetic value. A very rare mineral, little known. In this sample, it is even pseudomorphic pyrite!
Collectors know how these types of minerals are increasingly sought after, expensive, and hard to find!
The uniqueness of this specimen lies in its rarity, provenance, size, and the quality of the crystals.
These perfectly formed ones, which can be appreciated for their crystalline faces and crystallizations. Furthermore, their color is unique and in intense shades that give the sample elegance and refinement.

A marvel of perfect nature to enhance museum exhibitions and/or high-level mineral collections. The high aesthetic value also makes it perfect for those seeking natural objects to furnish high-class venues.

The proposed photos are taken in a designated set with strong lights. In any case, we try not to alter the color of the specimens presented. However, it is recommended to keep the minerals in well-lit places to better appreciate their color.

Shipping is usually carried out the next day with tracking and great attention to packaging.

Shipments coming from the same customer will be grouped together; excess shipping fees will be refunded either within the package itself or through other means, according to prior agreement :)
