Description

Two small, but sharply formed and gemmy crystals. In the close-up photo (FOV 2.1 x 2.4 mm) the front crystal spans 0.8 mm. In the macro photo, the crystals are the dark red spot at top right. These crystals have relatively complex morphology – not the more common simple or hoppered cubes. You will need 15-30X to view the crystals clearly. The green “sprig” is aegirine. Weight (including case) 0.4 oz. Single item shipping weight 2.4 oz. Up to a total weight < 4 oz, this can be combined with other items for the same postage.

Seller's terms and conditions

In addition to the standard terms and conditions, please note the following. Almost all IDs are visual. While in most cases the ID is obvious, there may be cases where it is not. If you are doubtful about a particular ID, please ask for more information. Or do not bid! Similarly, if you are not sure that the specimen meets your criteria, do not bid. I have tdone the best I can with the photos. Nevertheless, if you are not happy with a specimen for any reason, I will refund the bid price – but not the shipping costs (unless the fault is clearly mine) – if the specimen is returned. This policy applies even if analysis of the specimen shows that my ID was incorrect. When in doubt, ask - or don’t bid. Note that most crystals at MSH and Varennes are micros - even if on large specimens. Please pay attention to the stated sizes. Any customs duties, fees etc. are the responsibility of the buyer.
