Just when I thought I had reached the end of Dad\'s mineral collection I found yet another box of specimens when we did the final clean out of his garage. The specimens in this box look like they were given to, or purchased by, my father and were awaiting the time when he would either add them to his collection or trade them for others at his local gem and mineral club events. Some of the stones in the box had labels and this one did. I have no idea where or when Dad acquired it. I found it wrapped in paper with a label which doubtfully said it was \"Albite? on Arfedsonite? {from} Ivugtut, Iceland.\" I have no idea if it is really this mineral or if it needs further research to be sure.
This mineral specimen is roughly about 29 mm by 15 mm by 11 mm and weighs about 5.078 grams.
With his PhD in mineralogy, my father loved to collect rocks. He took great pride in his mineral collection which he carefully organized by chemical groups. Since he recently passed away I\'m tasked with finding his treasures a new home.
Just so you know, I do send all the tags that he had with each mineral because they tell a story of the travels of the specimen. If they were with Dad\'s specimen I included them but you may have to look at the very bottom of the box to find them. I have added one of Dad\'s identification tags with what little information I have on the specimen in case you want to continue to seek out the scientific data and add it to the tag.
I still have loads of rocks and rough material to re-home so I\'ll be posting more of my father\'s rock collections (rough material, cut stones, pendants, mineral specimens, and other rock related items) off and on for months so do make my store one of your favorites and check in often to see what new items are listed. I try to list new items for sale every Tuesday.
I will gladly combine shipping for purchases made on the same day. If you win more than one sale please request an invoice so I can adjust the shipping costs before you pay, although I\'ve tried to set it up so the weights of the items will determine the final cost of postage. Due to my one day shipping policy I cannot hold items for you to have me ship later, so try to buy what you want on the same day - that way I can get you the best shipping costs possible. Thanks!
