Description

Resting on a crystalline surface of clear quartz, several cubanite crystals occur as short, stout prisms displaying the characteristic metallic luster of this mineral.

The crystals, elongated and well defined, shows distinct longitudinal striations typical of this copper–iron sulfide. The bronze to dark golden-brown color contrasts with the pale translucent quartz matrix, which locally displays subtle iridescent reflections caused by thin alteration films.

Cubanite (CuFe₂S₃) is a relatively uncommon copper-iron sulfide, typically associated with chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite in polymetallic ore deposits.

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
