Description

Massive dark brown shiny fluorbritholite-Ce with eudialyte and arfvedsonite. The specimen is about 50% britholite. Strongly radioactive. Note: The shipping cost quoted to the US is about double what it would be for non-radioactives because of carrier restrictions. Not sure how carriers in other countries will respond to strongly radioactives minerals but the prices quoted are assuming there will be no problem. If you have concerns let me know how you would like to handle shipping and we can establish a price for shipping

We combine shipping.
