JH14033 Orange Fluorescing Sodalite, Greenland

Description

Up for bid is a Sodalite specimen from Greenland. This fluoresces Orange under all UV wavelengths but is best under LW. Picture was taken under LW. This type of Sodalite is very common in Greenland. When I visited Greenland there were boulders of this stuff the size of a car. However since it was so common, very little was collected and brought back to the US. No one wanted to waste valuable luggage space on Sodalite (or clothes!) when there was Tugtupite to pack. This piece came from an old collection so it probably predates all the MinerShop trips. Back then, no one knew where to find the good fluorescent minerals so much more of the common Sodalite was collected.

Domestic Shipping
For domestic shipping I generally use Fed Exp Ground for heavier and more expensive items, and US Postal Service Priority Mail for lighter and less expensive items. Both services have door to door tracking and full insurance. If you have a shipping preference please let me know. If the shipping service I use costs less than eBay charges, I will refund any excess. I only charge actual shipping costs with no extra charges for packing or shipping materials and will gladly combine shipments. If the combined shipping doesn’t work for some reason, I will refund any excess shipping.
International Shipping
I use US Postal Service Priority mail for all international shipments. Please note that due to a lack of international flights, many overseas shipments are going by boat instead of air. This can add a month or more to delivery times. Purchase at your own risk.
