AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Fantastic specimen composed of a large crystal of Andradite (dark garnet variety Andradite) with an intense dark brown color and green Epidote. This sample is characterized by excellent crystal formation, allowing appreciation of the crystal face shapes. The naturally grown crystals, in an optimal way, 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.
