It is mainly used in jewelry and decorative items.
The mineral includes a label with the name and origin and is attached to a cardboard box. 4 cm square.

Since the minerals are natural, you will receive a piece similar to the one in the photograph. The minerals come in cardboard boxes and are glued to a porex base with hot silicone; these can be removed using ethyl alcohol without damaging the mineral. The size is approximate.
