Product Description

Discover this remarkable specimen of Halite orange from the mythical Mine Amelie in Wittelsheim, in the heart of the potassium basin of the Haut-Rhin, in Alsace. This historic piece is distinguished by its intense orange, salmon hue, revealing a rich natural association with sylvinite. Its real asset lies in its upper part, where a beautiful cubic and translucent crystal has developed, offering magnificent glassy reflections to the light. An aesthetic and highly representative sample of the French mining heritage, now permanently inaccessible to extraction.
