JH15516 Rare, Wernerite and Diopside, Quebec, Canada

Description

Up for bid is rare Wernerite and Diopside specimen from Quebec Canada. Most of the time you see Wernerite specimens that may have a bit of Diopside associated with them, however this specimen is about 30% blue fluorescing Diopside. This specimen was collected from the Autoroute 50 roadcut many years ago. The collecting site has since been destroyed by ongoing construction. I have only seen specimens like this offered for sale twice in all my years of collecting.
First picture is under SW and shows the Diopside and Wernerite. Second picture is under LW and only shows the Wernerite. Third picture is under white light. Remaining pictures are of the back of the specimen in the same order.

Location: Autoroute 50 roadcut No. 1, Grenville-sur-la-Rouge, Argenteuil County, Quebec, Canada

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.
