Description

Sprays of acicular liught yellow valentinite sit on the dark matrix making for a very pretty thumbnail that will ship safely glued in a little box. A very rich piece for this find.
These are from a collecting effort in 2018 in an area that is no longer accessible.
We are happy to combine shipping or stockpile until it makes sense to ship due to shipping price. We only charge actual shipping costs.
