Scientific information: The Tessiner habit refers to a specific quartz crystal growth pattern where the crystals taper towards their terminations, resulting in an elongated and elegant form. The limonite provides a striking color contrast, formed as an iron oxide coating, while the muscovite mica adds a shiny, flower-petal-like appearance to the quartz surface.
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 environments to fully appreciate its vibrant hues and details.
Crystal therapy: In crystal therapy, quartz is known for its amplifying properties, and the Tessiner habit is believed to focus and enhance energy flow. Limonite is associated with grounding and protective energies, while muscovite mica is thought to bring emotional clarity and balance. This combination of minerals makes the specimen ideal for healing practices and energy work.
