Scientific information: The "Tessiner habit" refers to a growth pattern where quartz crystals taper toward their terminations, creating an elongated form. The presence of chrysocolla, a copper silicate mineral known for its striking blue-green color, adds both visual appeal and scientific interest. Chrysocolla typically forms as a secondary mineral in copper-rich environments.
Photos: The photos are taken under strong lighting to ensure the specimen’s natural colors are preserved. It is recommended to display the mineral in well-lit areas to fully appreciate its transparency and vibrant chrysocolla inclusions.
Crystal therapy: Quartz in the Tessiner habit is believed to focus energy, enhancing the flow and amplification of positive forces. The presence of chrysocolla is thought to introduce calming and balancing energies, making this specimen ideal for emotional healing and tranquility. Together, these minerals are a powerful combination in crystal therapy practices.
Shipping: Shipping is typically processed the day after the order is placed, with tracking provided. Special care is taken in packaging. Orders from the same customer will be grouped, and any excess shipping fees will be refunded as per prior agreement.
