AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Polished and carved tower from a single block of pink rhodonite with inclusions of black galena, originating from the mining regions of Peru. The variegated appearance and the glossy surface reveal subtle alternations of shades created by a long geological process that occurred in metamorphic veins rich in manganese. Rhodonite is a manganese silicate formed through contact metamorphism reactions, when hot magma masses heat and transform rocks rich in manganese and iron.

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.
