Description

Subhedral to anhedral crystals of glassy pale brown Rinkite-Y in eudialyte with dark green richterite and minor apatite, arfvedsonite and fluorbritholite-Ce. The sample is about 40% rinkite. The Rinkite-Y has been confirmed by EDS and is only the third reported locality for the species. 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.
