Description

Classic norwegian specimen: dark brown and kind of greasy lustrous gadolinite crystal on matrix, the label refers to only slightest radioactivity. Most probably Gadolinite-(Y). The collector acquired this specimen from R. Schaffrath in 1983.

Please note: postage costs and procedures have changed since Jan. 1st 2019 here in GER. The given tariffs are those on the "safe" side (tracked DHL for international shipping - limit 2 kg total). I am working on a solution that may revert to the former (cheaper) tariffs - as long as i don´t have a confirmation you are welcome to stockpile items to optimize shipping costs. I will inform you about any changes ASAP.
