Description

Up for bid is a rare specimen of Zektzerite in Microcline from the Darai-Pioz Glacier in Tajikistan. The Zektzerite fluoresces White and the Microcline fluoresces Magenta, both under Shortwave UV. This is a very rare mineral from a remote location. I only know of one dealer that has collected in Tajikistan and he has not had any Zektzerites to sell in over 10 years. This is an exceptional specimen that came from my personal collection.

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.
