Mineral slices are thin, carefully cut sections of crystals or raw minerals, often revealing spectacular structures and patterns within.
Each slice is unique, both in the composition of the mineral and in the natural design it shows.
Examples of unique mineral slices:
-
Agate Belt: Known for its concentric bands in shades of white, gray, brown or even blue and pink. These agate slices often have a translucent appearance, and the strips form a fascinating design that can range from perfectly straight lines to flowing patterns.
-
Geodes of quartz: Sliced from geodes, these pieces of quartz can reveal sparkling crystals in the center, surrounded by layers of minerals in various colors. Each section shows a unique combination of crystals and textures.
-
Fluorite: Sliced fluorite provides varied shades of green, purple, blue, and yellow. The internal texture may feature parallel stripes, which add a subtle elegance to the piece.
-
Labradorite: A slice of labradorite reveals spectacular iridescence effects, called labradorescence. This can range from bright blue shades to golden and green tones.
-
Malahit: Sliced malachite is usually green, with distinct patterns of concentric circles and lines, providing a rich and intense appearance. Its green layers are incredibly detailed and can form distinctive organic patterns.
These mineral slices are often used for decorative items, mineral collections, or even in unique jewelry like pendants and rings. Each slice is like a small natural work of art, perfect to be appreciated for its intrinsic beauty.
