    Description

    Up for bid is an unusual Willemite specimen from the Third Plain Zinc Deposit in South Australia. Most of the Willemite is in the form of microscopic nodules with a layering pattern. You need strong magnification to even recognize these as nodules. Randomly distributed thought the specimen are larger nodules ranging in size from 0.05” to 0.1”. At the top of the specimen is a band of Willemite that is a lighter Green color and finally a layer of Orange-Red fluorescing Calcite. All of the Willemite in the specimen phosphoresces Green. This specimen is radically different from the Willemite found at the Puttapa mine about 40 miles away. After taking the pictures I noticed there was some residue from a previous label. That has now been cleaned off.
    Description: Willemite (FL Green SW, phosphorescent), Calcite (FL Orange-Red SW)
    Location: Third Plain Zinc Deposit, Angorichina Station, , South Australia, Australia
    Size: 4.8" x 3.5" x 1.8"
    Weight: 28 oz

    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.
