Description
Locality: 
Podkarpackie, Poland
Size Range: 
Miniature (4.5-7 cm)
Size: 
6.5 × 4.5 × 2 cm
Description

Luscious amber color. Sold as baryte but Mindat experts say it is celestine. Very good condition. Victor Yount stated that there is some damage, but I’m hard pressed to see any, even with a scope, except near the base. The lighter colored tip on the largest xl appears to be zoning rather than a break.

This item requires special packing.This has been factored into the shipping cost.

Seller's terms and conditions

In addition to the standard terms and conditions, please note the following. Almost all IDs are visual. While in most cases the ID is obvious, there may be cases where it is not. If you are doubtful about a particular ID, please ask for more information. Or do not bid! Similarly, if you are not sure that the specimen meets your criteria, do not bid. I have tdone the best I can with the photos. Nevertheless, if you are not happy with a specimen for any reason, I will refund the bid price – but not the shipping costs (unless the fault is clearly mine) – if the specimen is returned. This policy applies even if analysis of the specimen shows that my ID was incorrect. When in doubt, ask - or don’t bid. Note that most crystals at MSH and Varennes are micros - even if on large specimens. Please pay attention to the stated sizes. Any customs duties, fees etc. are the responsibility of the buyer.
