Description

This is hiortdahlite II not hiortdahlite, E-rocks will not recognize the "II" so I had to enter it as hiortdahlite which is a different species. 'Massive greenish-grey hiortdahlite II in white albite with minor dark blue arfvedsonite and grains and needles of fluorbritholite-Ce to 3mm long. The hiortdahlite II and fluorbritholite-Ce have been confirmed by EDS.

Note: The sample is weakly radioactive due to the britholite and will require special shipping to some countries and thus cost more for shipping. The shipping costs given are for regular shipping to countries with carriers that have not given me any problems with low level radioactives, which are most of them. The shipping cost quoted to the US is about double what it would be for non-radioactives because of carrier restrictions.

We combine shipping.
