Description from the seller
The Marvels of the Bolognese – Absolute rarities between history and new discoveries
A lot that combines the beauty of the rare with the surprise of the new. With a total weight of [insert weight if available], this triptych of specimens is an authentic tribute to the mineralogy of the Bolognese Apennines, among historic mines now vanished and very recent discoveries.
The first specimen is a millerite from Cà de Ladri, a location now legendary for the rarity of its discoveries. Its thin metallic fibers, with a bright silver color, represent one of the most elegant manifestations of nickel in nature. A collectible sample that tells of an unrepeatable geological era.
Next, a black beta quartz from Castelluccio di Moscheta, recognizable by its elongated, shiny black crystals darkened by the presence of microinclusions of magnetite. This is a rare phenomenon strongly linked to the metamorphic conditions of the ophiolites in the area, which make these quartz specimens unique in the world.
Finally, a barite on calcite from San Clemente, a very recent find and among the very first specimens ever documented from this new locality. But it is not just the novelty that makes it extraordinary: the calcite reacts intensely to UV light, emitting a spectacular emerald green fluorescence, a clear testament to its pure composition and the exceptional quality of the specimen.
Three pieces, three stories of a land incredibly rich beneath our feet. From the geological history buried in the calanchi to the joy of exploration and modern discoveries, this lot represents the perfect bridge between the past and future of Emiliana mineralogy.
Kire Minerals is proud to present this exclusive selection, dedicated to those who appreciate genuine rarity and the allure of Italian discoveries.
