Crocoite Rough - Height: 10 cm - Width: 5 cm- 378 g - (1)

• Sample description: A spectacular and richly collectible specimen studded with a dense interwoven network of elongated prismatic crocoite crystals. The crystals display a vivid red-orange color, extremely bright, typical of the species, with an adamantine luster that immediately catches the eye. The needle-like and gleaming formations develop tridimensionally within cavities of a dark ferruginous matrix rich in limonite, creating an exceptional chromatic contrast. • Locality: Dundas, Zeehan District, West Coast Municipality, Tasmania, Australia. This remote mining locality is universally regarded as the world's most important and famous crocoite deposit. Within the surface oxidation zones of lead ore deposits, surrounded by chrome-rich ultramafic rocks, the geochemical conditions perfect for the growth of these rare lead chromates were created. Samples from the historic Dundas mines (such as the famous Adelaide Mine) are globally distinguished by the exceptional crystal sizes and their inimitable chromatic brilliance. • Crystal therapy note: In crystal therapy, crocoite is regarded as a stone endowed with a strong energetic and revitalizing charge, closely connected to the root and sacral chakras. It is used to stimulate passion, artistic creativity, and the flow of vital energy, helping to overcome conditions of apathy or spiritual fatigue. It also promotes grounding and supports the individual in courageously manifesting their ideas in reality. • Bases not included in the shipment. NO SHIPPING OUTSIDE THE EU
