Description from the seller

Here is an extraordinary formation of botryoidal agate that creates a combination of small spheres grouped radially, in a vivid purple color ranging from intense violet to delicate lavender. This ensemble is enhanced by hints of green celadonite, which gives the structure a magnificent three-dimensionality and a charming luster. Additionally, rare extra quartz crystals can be seen, further embellishing the composition. Observing the agate through magnification reveals a crystallized finish similar to a druzy on each individual sphere. This exceptional specimen comes from Sulawesi, Indonesia.

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.
