Description

You are bidding on a sealed tube with green liquid, mixed with other meteoric mineral fragments, that once was the rare mineral lawrencite. Lawrencite is extremely unstable at atmosphere and this is the closest any of us can come to having a sample of this mineral. These samples were "collected" from this meteorite by drawing the green liquid off the surface into a glass tube and sealing it many years ago. Very hard to find! The tube measures 2cm long for scale.
