Excellent specimen Oak! If that had gone missing on me I'd have been tearing up everything to find it!

Awesome specimen!

Reminds me of the gold veined quartz crystal lump I found on Lake Superior as a child. It was made into a 3-3 1/2" gazing ball after I sold it. Wish I'd kept it!

It was packed in a different box than what it arrived in, so as to protect it, fragile. All the boxes were supposedely checked, apparently one was not :-)

Humans are fallible, it has been found, lessons have been learned and that lovely specimen is back to be looked at and enjoyed. Glad to see it and thank you for sharing!.....................63bkpkr
