Description
Product Overview
This Grade A Opalised Marcasite crystal specimen is identified with Indonesia and Miocene classification. Its listed product presentation highlights colours and translucence when viewed with backlighting, making it a distinctive addition to a mineral collection, geological display or natural-history themed interior.
The specimen is supplied as an individual collectible rather than a manufactured decorative replica. Its natural appearance is intended to be appreciated through close observation, changing illumination and careful placement in a display cabinet, on a shelf or within a curated crystal collection.
Identification and Geological Context
The product is listed as opalised marcasite. Marcasite is a recognised iron sulfide mineral and is known in mineralogy as a distinct mineral species. The term opalised forms part of the supplied identification and product name, while the supplied classification is Miocene. Miocene is a geological epoch within the Neogene Period, providing a geological time reference for the specimen listing.
No additional formation details are specified, so the specimen is best presented according to its recorded identification and locality rather than assigned to an unconfirmed geological environment. This makes it suitable for collectors who value clearly labelled specimens and want a concise geological reference alongside the physical piece.
Colour, Translucence and Display
The product name specifically notes that backlit photography highlights the specimen’s colours and translucence. Translucence allows some light to pass through the material rather than appearing fully transparent, and backlighting can reveal visual qualities that may be less apparent under ordinary front lighting. Displaying the specimen near a controlled light source may help viewers appreciate the features shown in the product photography.
Natural specimens can show visual variation depending on viewing angle, surrounding light and photographic conditions. The supplied photographs are therefore an important part of assessing the actual appearance of this individual piece. Full sizing is shown in the photographs.
Locality
The recorded locality is Mount Cidolog, Pasanggrahan, Sagaranten, Sukabumi Regency, West Java, Indonesia. This locality information accompanies the specimen identification and provides a useful reference for collection labels, catalogue notes and educational mineral displays. It also distinguishes the piece within a locality-focused collection of Indonesian geological material.
Collecting and Gifting
This specimen is suited to mineral collectors, geology students, classroom-style display collections, natural-history enthusiasts and anyone interested in Indonesian specimens. Its labelled identification and locality make it practical for a specimen tray, cabinet arrangement or educational display. The backlit colour and translucence presentation also gives it decorative interest without removing its value as a labelled geological collectible.
It can be considered for a birthday, housewarming, collector’s gift or geology-themed occasion. The specimen may be displayed alongside other crystals and minerals as part of a carefully arranged collection, with the locality and Miocene classification retained on its label.
