AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Fantastic calcite crystals covered by another shiny second-generation calcite. Additionally, a scalenohedral crystal is curved. Excellent shapes, stunning colors, and high mineralogical value given by origin and quality.
This sample is characterized by the excellent formation of the crystals, which allows for an appreciation of the shapes of the crystalline faces. The crystals that grow naturally and optimally possess intense colors.

A unique piece of nature, ideal for enriching high-level mineral collections and perfect for decorating exclusive environments thanks to its high aesthetic value. Many people find healing properties in minerals; the uses for crystallotherapy and lithotherapy should not be underestimated.

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.
