Ex. George Kamin Collection
Unique item consisting of a jar weighing 446 grams full of many, many crystals and crystal sections of pure uraninite from the Parker Mountain Mine, Parker Mountain, Stafford, Stafford County, New Hampshire, USA! It must have taken somebody a long time to collect this many uraninite crystals from this classic and uncommon New Hampshire pegmatite locality; I have field collected at this mine and you could easily hunt all day and not find one uraninite crystal! I could probably get way more for these if I removed the best crystals and sold them individually in perky boxes, but I am offering the jar as a ‘set’ as a small thank you to you guys, my favorite “hot rock” customers! Enjoy! 🙂 Plus, I sort of love how heavy and dense this jar is, it reminds you how far down the periodic table uranium is!
