All auctions / Ethnographic / Aesthetic Quartz with Green Epidote Crystals on matrix...


From our selection of collectible minerals, we offer an aesthetically pleasing grouping of Quartz with Epidote crystals from Bargone, Parma, Emilia-Romagna. Moreover, it features numerous green Quartz crystals due to Epidote inclusions, paired with white crystals that create a pleasant color contrast on a matrix, enhancing its aesthetic value and mineralogical importance. The specimen stands out for the quality of crystallization and for the overall aesthetic balance, with characteristics that highlight its natural structure and visual impact. The green color of the Quartz in this specimen is due to the presence of Epidote inclusions, a calcium, aluminum, and iron silicate that typically forms in low- to medium-grade metamorphic rocks or in hydrothermal veins associated with ophiolitic rocks. The Bargone area, in the province of Parma, is known among collectors precisely for these epidotized quivers (quartz epidoted) tied to the geology of the Emilia Apennines. The Quartz-Epidote association is a classic example of how mineral inclusions can modify the chromatic appearance of a mineral species that is normally colorless or white. This is an ideal specimen for mineralogical collections, display, and for those who appreciate the natural beauty of minerals, even in the realm of crystal therapy and lithotherapy, according to the properties traditionally associated with the mineral species. All minerals are 100% natural and untreated, with rare exceptions always indicated in the description. Photographs are taken with professional illumination to best showcase colors and details; however, slight color variations may occur depending on the device or ambient light. Shipping is carried out via reliable, selected express couriers, with fast delivery (in many cases 1–2 working days in Europe), tracked and insured shipment, and professional, safe packaging, as confirmed by customer reviews. Deliveries can also occur the day after payment depending on the destination. It is possible to accumulate multiple purchases and receive them in a single shipment, even from auctions with different deadlines, simply contacting us to arrange the consolidation. For important pieces, direct at-home delivery by appointment or at major European fairs is also available.
