Description

A very attractive uranium mineral specimen from the famous Swambo deposit, featuring a vivid association of curite and soddyite. The piece displays delicate orange acicular sprays of curite, beautifully contrasted by a dense coverage of bright yellow soddyite crystals, forming a striking and highly aesthetic color combination. The soddyite occurs as sharp, blocky to tabular crystals, while the curite forms fine needle-like aggregates scattered across the matrix. 

In a box 2.8x2.8cm, labelled

FoV : 2.8mm

Shipping to the USA : 

Recently all my padded letters came all back to me, in fact, they are normally only for "gifts" so they are not going through customs anymore (and warned me of a fee ..).

From now on, all shipping to the US will be made in packages, only way to send to your country.

I can offer to wait before to ship if needed
