AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This necklace is born from the rare and surprising encounter between two natural minerals, unusual in the world of contemporary jewelry: phosphosiderite and Australian yellow mokaite. A chromatic and material dialogue that does not follow trends or conventions but builds its own harmony, made of balanced contrasts and deep resonances. Phosphosiderite, with its spheres of intense and velvety violet, is a somewhat uncommon stone, appreciated especially in collector circles. Its color ranges from deep lilac to soft purple, with slight internal variations reminiscent of clouds, sedimentations, traces of a slow and silent process. It is a presence stone: its vivid violet. In jewelry, it is rarely used precisely because of its reserved nature, which here becomes a strength—a conscious and distinctive choice. In contrast and in perfect balance, the Australian yellow mokaite, an ancient jasper from Western Australia, is known for its warm, earthy tones. The yellow of mokaite is not uniform: it varies from honey to mustard, with subtle veins and inclusions that tell the geological complexity of this stone. It is a sunny yet profound color, evoking arid land, intense light, and the open, primordial landscape of the Australian continent. Paired with the violet of phosphosiderite, mokaite creates a bold yet natural chromatic contrast, where warm and cool tones balance each other without ever overpowering.

Seller's Story

The Mineral Art Gallery offers minerals, fossils, shells and natural elements. Born in Italy in 2017, today she collaborates with international galleries and collectors, she is a direct importer of large minerals and naturalistic collectible elements; deals with the processing to insert them inside the living space. A section of the gallery was dedicated to the Wunderkammer, "chamber of wonders or cabinet of curiosities" in which Mirabilia elements are presented: naturalia and italiania, a union between "the present is the past". All lots are shipped via DHL Express and Fercam couriers, with insured parcel and tracking.
