An excellent specimen of magnetite with clinoclore from the historic Traversella mine (TO), in Piedmont, completely natural and of notable mineralogical value. The magnetite crystals display a splendid, well-developed habit, typical of the isometric system, aggregated into a compact, bright cluster on matrix, with green clinoclore inclusions that enrich the piece's color contrast. The locality is particularly rare and sought after by collectors, being a historic site for Italian mineralogy; the piece is also accompanied by an antique label from an old collection. These features add aesthetic and mineralogical value to the piece. This is an ideal specimen for mineral collections, display, and for those who appreciate the natural beauty of minerals, including in the realm of crystal therapy and lithotherapy, in line with the properties traditionally associated with the mineral species. All minerals are 100% natural and untreated, with extremely rare exceptions always noted in the description. The photographs are taken with professional lighting to best showcase colors and details; however, slight variations in tone may occur depending on the device or ambient light. Shipping is carried out via reliable and selected express couriers, with fast delivery (in many cases 1-2 business days in Europe), tracked and insured shipping and professional, secure packaging, as confirmed by customer reviews. Deliveries can also take place the day after payment depending on the destination.
