Description

This is a sample that is 80% Uraninite with the remainder being mainly fluorite variety antozonite with minor ferro-hornblende. Most of the sample is made up of massive uraninite but there are two distinct crystals, the largest being 5mm along an edge. The dominant crystal is a cubo-octahedron and has no noticeable damage. 

Because of it’s radioactivity this sample will be shipped by surface mail overseas and by expedited parcel to the USA.
