This pyrite and quartz specimen from the Alimon mine is a fascinating example of mineral diversity and geological interaction. Every detail tells the story of its formation and the unique geological environment in which it was found.
Sharp and sparkling crystals of pyrite and quartz are an excellent example of mineral co-growth, also known as mineralogical association. This phenomenon is typical of the locality of origin of this piece, the Alimon mine in the Huaron mining district of Peru.
The pyrite crystals present on the specimen are characterized by their distinctive octahedral shape, with flat faces and well-defined edges. Pyrite is an iron sulfide that presents a brilliant golden luster and metallic reflections. Its cubic crystalline structure gives the piece a regular and fascinating geometry.
Intertwined with the pyrite crystals are quartz crystals, known for their clarity and transparency. These sharp crystals, with their prismatic-hexagonal shape, add a quality of crystallinity and brightness to the piece. Their growth with the pyrite indicates a particular geological environment in which both minerals coexisted and developed over a long period of time.

Heeft lang geduurd. Catawiki moest er 2x achter aan waarom ze het nogniet hadden verstuurd. Maar ik heb het ontvangen en ze zijn echt heel mooi.

Seller's response

It is not our fault that you have paid shipping costs on two different lots. If you purchase multiple lots, you need to select "pickup on site" for the subsequent ones, and we will take care of combining them. Once the shipping costs have been paid, the Catawiki system does not allow them to be refunded. For your next order, do not pay the shipping costs—we will cover them for you as a gift, no problem. Best regards!

Fossili di qualità, imballati in modo professionale, spedizione veloce. Il venditore è molto disponibile, risponde in modo cortese ad ogni richiesta di chiarimento. Esperienza positiva, consigliato!
