Description

A nice example of this rare mineral from the TL. There are a few other localities for kulanite world wide, but for all practical purposes, if you want kulanite, it will have to from one of the Rapid Creek sub-localities. In addition to the kulanite, there is siderite (photos 5, 6, 12, 13) as well as very small wardite and even a tiny, but well formed, brazilianite (photos 10 &11). Single item shipping weight 4.9 oz. Postage slightly higher if total weight of all items exceeds 8 oz.

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.
