AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This week I prepare great minerals for You.

Fluorescent in UV light ( SW and LW) calcite on orpiment - old time specimen

I'm trying to show You specimens and crystals hand selected, not usual, beautiful and pricey.

Very aesthetic specimen much better in person.

I'm trying to show You specimens and crystals hand selected, not usual, beautiful and pricey. condition as on pictures.
Color is very difficult to reproduce in the pictures. Some pictured specimens show slightly different shades that seen with a human eye. Generally in my opinion the colors in reality are slightly prettier. Toxic, Please clean hands after touching.


Seller's Story

Friendly reminder: We combine shipping - one shipping cost ( the higher from all auction that You won and nothing more ) Shipping - All my minerals are shipped via priority registered air mail packed secured in box with tracking number. Items are all labeled. Shipping could take from 7 to 14 working days. In some cases for countries on other side of the world shipping can take longer that normal 7-14 days. I can't speed up Post Office. Please track Your parcel. Please read all descriptions - it's everything there. Pictures showing what you will get. No retouch, Photoshop etc. Just strong day light.
