JH10913 Multicolored Sphalerite, Willemite, Kirki Mine, Greece

Description

Up for bid is a rare specimen of Sphalerite and Willemite from the Kirki Mine in Thrace Greece. The Sphalerite fluoresces Orange, Yellow, and Red under all wavelengths of UV but is best under the intense Long Wave of a Convoy. The Sphalerite is also phosphorescent and triboluminescent. It reminds me of the Sphalerite from the Horn Silver Mine in Utah. There is also some Willemite that fluoresce Green under SW.
I know the dealer that acquired this material. It was a onetime shipment from Greece about 10 years ago. These Greek fluorescent specimens generated a lot of interest when fist sold at Tucson but the dealer lost contact with the supplier in Greece and no more were shipped. This piece came from my personal collection.

Shipping
I use Fed Exp Ground for most of my domestic shipping. I only charge actual shipping costs with no extra charges for packing or shipping materials. I think I finally have combined shipping working on eBay. The automatic invoice from eBay should now have the correct shipping amount.
