AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

From the mineral collection, completely natural, rare, and important: honey-colored Barite crystals. Excellent crystals of good sizeRich in darker phantom inclusions inside. The color is truly fantastic, and with backlighting, it reaches yellow and almost golden shades. Very rare Sardinian provenance appreciated worldwide.

Collectors know how much minerals of this type are appreciated and sought after.
The peculiarity of this specimen lies in its rarity, origin, size, and 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.

Being a large piece, it has some crystals with defects, but it remains an excellent specimen!
A unique natural specimen, ideal for enriching high-level mineral collections and perfect for decorating exclusive environments thanks to its high aesthetic value.

Photos are taken in a dedicated set with intense lights to avoid altering the colors, but it is recommended to display the minerals in well-lit environments to fully appreciate their tones.

The shipment usually occurs the next day, with tracking and careful packaging. Multiple orders from the same customer will be grouped, and any excess shipping costs will be refunded.
