This is a cool specimen, especially if you are an economic geologist or study ore mineralogy. It is basically a 6cm thick vein of sulfide. Mostly it is Pyrite, which is iridescent but has a 3cm blade of silvery Bismuthinite. This is a heavy specimen and would require extra postage, possibly more than what the cart will calculate.
