AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
***WARNING – due to the current situation regarding tariffs, sales to the U.S. are TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED***
Coquimbite is a fairly rare sulfate. This specimen consists of crystals with a beautiful violet color, forming hexagonal prisms up to 20 mm. The crystals, especially the smaller ones, are shiny and are accompanied by white Alunogeno and microcrystals of yellow Copiapite. Since the famous find in 2009, the mineral has disappeared from the market. A specimen for true connoisseurs, not to be missed!
Photographed under intense light.

Seller's Story
We have been collectors since 1972, present as exhibitors at the main mineral exhibitions in Italy and some European ones (Sainte-Marie-Aux-Mines, Monaco, etc.), where you can find us to get to know us in person, exchange opinions, talk about our beloved minerals and, should the auctions end close to an exhibition, deliver your samples directly.
All proposed minerals, unless otherwise specified, are photographed using a strong light source, to better show the colors and details of the sample.
If you buy multiple minerals in the same auction, we will ship them together and you will only pay the higher shipping costs.
