    Description

    A high quality specimen of a very rare California species Karpatite. It has been in the traveling collection for schools, but due to Covid, we have to redo the display cases. This is being sold as a fund raiser to upgrade the display kits going to schools for educational purposes.
    I’ve been endeavoring to bring high quality fluorescents to the schools and future displayer of fluorescent minerals for years. See link of who I am and what I do!
