ALPINO, AESTHETIC SMOKED QUARTZ with GREEN CHLORITE...

From our selection of collectible minerals, we present an elegant Smoky Quartz crystal with Chlorite from Grimsel Pass, Uri Canton, Switzerland. It is also characterized by a well-developed prismatic termination, by the brown-gray coloration typical of the smoky variety contrasted by the green patina of chlorite coating part of the surface, and by good transparency of the crystal body that allows a glimpse of the interior—features that increase its aesthetic value and mineralogical significance. The specimen stands out for the quality of crystallization and for the overall aesthetic balance, with characteristics that enhance its natural structure and visual impact. The brownish-gray color of Smoky Quartz is due to color centers induced in the crystal lattice by traces of aluminum and exposure to natural radiation present in Alpine granitic rocks. Grimsel Pass, on the border between Swiss cantons, is one of the historical localities of Alpine fissures, where quartz crystals formed in hydrothermal cavities within granite during the uplift of the Alps. Chlorite, a green phyllosilicate mineral, often forms in association with Alpine quartz as a product of alteration of ferromagnesian minerals. This is an ideal specimen for mineral collections, display, and for those who appreciate the natural beauty of minerals, also in the context of crystal therapy and lithotherapy, according to the properties traditionally associated with the mineral species. All minerals are 100% natural and untreated, except for very rare cases always noted in the description. Photographs are taken with professional lighting to best highlight colors and details; however, slight tonal variations may occur depending on the device or ambient light.
