Description

Sprays of acicular orange/yellow valentinite sit on the dark matrix making for a very pretty specimen that will ship safely glued in a little box. A very rich piece for this find. This is the only piece we ahve showing this habit.
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.
