    Description

    Up for bid is classic Fantasy Rock from the Western Taseq slopes in Greenland. This has Red fluorescing Tugtupite, White fluorescing Chkalovite, Blue-White fluorescing Analcime, Orange fluorescing Sodalite, and Yellow fluorescing Polylithionite. There are several areas where you can see the Chkalovite altering to Tugtupite and creating Tugtupite “eyes”. First picture is under SW UV, Second picture is under LW UV, third picture is under white light.
    These Tugtupite, Chkalovite, Analcime, Sodalite combinations were only found in one small spot on the Taseq slopes. We nicknamed this assemblage “Fantasy Rock” because the brilliant colors, combinations and patterns only existed in our fantasies before being discovered in Greenland.
    This piece was from an old collection I recently purchased. I have collected my own Fantasy Rock in Greenland so I can let this one go.

    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.
