Large-Banded- Rare 29.1 Grams or 145.5 Carat Saffordite Translucent Tektite- "Cintamani Stone" from Arizona, USA- Natural Rune Stone
Up for sale is a large AAA Saffordite tektite from Arizona, USA. This tektite comes directly from the source. These are found by a small group of Arizona miners. The location has been handed down through generations. These tektites appear black unless held to light. A camera flash was used in the photographs. When illuminated from behind the nice smoky/lavender color appears. The origins of this Arizona Desert Glass are still being debated. Some view these as tektites while others theorize they are terrestrial obsidian from lava flows. The surface appearance and regmaglypt patterns are indistinguishable from other known tektites. Regardless of their origin they are both beautiful and mysterious.
This piece leaves me pretty speechless. It has this really cool banding. It is pretty amazing this piece passes light due to its incredibly large size, and with great translucency for such a large specimen!! The beauty held within so hard to explain. It lights up with a fiery amber.
Weight- 29.1 Grams or 145.5 Carats

Frequently Asked Questions
Is shipping guaranteed to track?
Standard shipping is the most economical method- First Class Mail through the U.S. Postal Service. This does not come with guaranteed tracking to the destination. The package usually scans and updates within the U.S. however, international tracking is not available. It is the buyers responsibility to understand all shipping/customs policies in their country.
We offer many shipping upgrades which include tracking and insurance upon request. Please contact us to customize shipping options (such as signature confirmation and added insurance) or select 'Tracking and Insurance' as an upgrade to Priority mail.
Please note, that some destinations do not offer Priority Mail tracking.
**We are not responsible for lost, stolen, or delayed mail
Are there estimated shipping times for First Class Package?
I ship through USPS First Class Mail in order to offer low cost shipping. Unfortunately, this service is highly variable on shipping times, and is inconsistent in tracking international. Typically packages can arrive anywhere from 10-30 business days or longer. Although First Class is my default shipping method I highly recommend upgraded shipping for express shipping times, guaranteed tracking, and insurance. Please contact us with any questions you may have or to request the use of Fed Ex or UPS services.
