Description

A very aesthetic micromount from Bundoor(a)a Quarry featuring a fine association of zeolites and carbonates. The specimen is based on a dark matrix richly covered with phillipsite, and hosts numerous bright snow-white aragonite sprays, forming delicate radiating bundles with a silky to vitreous luster. These are beautifully contrasted by well-formed siderite spherules, displaying warm honey-orange to brownish tones and a subtle satiny sheen. A classic and visually striking combination, offering excellent contrast in both color and crystal habit.

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
