Scientific Information: Ankerite is a calcium, iron, magnesium, and manganese carbonate mineral belonging to the dolomite group. Siderite is an iron carbonate. The orange coloration in Ankerite is due to iron content, while the distinct crystal forms reflect ideal conditions of crystallization in low-temperature hydrothermal environments.
Photos: The photos are taken with strong lighting to highlight the specimen’s natural colors. We strive to present the true colors of the minerals. It is recommended to display the specimen in well-lit spaces to fully appreciate its vivid color and crystal formations.
Crystal Therapy: Ankerite is believed to promote grounding and stability, while Siderite is thought to enhance focus and inner strength. Together, they are used in crystal therapy, lithotherapy, and crystal healing to support emotional balance and well-being.
Shipping: Shipping is typically carried out the day after the order is placed, with tracking and careful attention to packaging. Orders from the same customer will be grouped, and any excess shipping costs will be refunded within the package or by other agreed means.
