Description

Very attractive crystals of a subtle color difficult to capture in a photo. The crystals are about 1.1 mm in diameter. You will need 15-30X to see them properly.

This is a very small specimen, but there are at least two other gmelinite crystals and lots of smoky quartz. The specimen is from a hornfels seam. Found 5/98.

Single item shipping weight 1.8 oz. Outside the USA, the stated postage and packing rate applies up to a total weight of 8 oz (225 g). It may be advantageous to hold an "open box". Let me know/

Within the USA, there is a nominal increase of $0.20 for each additional ounce. Above 13 oz, I will use Priority Mail. Up to 16 oz, the “own box” Priority rate is $8.50 (including packing).

Please see my "Shipping Policy" for details

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.
