I pay shipping no tax. Nice colorful piece of trinitite straight from the well known Wallace T. Smith collection here in New Mexico. He worked in radio at Sandia Labs During the Atom Bomb Test in 1945. I was lucky enough to inherit a majority of this collection. I worked for his wife Dorothy on thier ranch in Corrales, N.M. and when she died the family gifted it to me. The story of this collection and how I got it is in a 2018 William Kolb book " Trinitite the Atomic Age Mineral ". Awesome book. Each piece comes with a signed and numbered Gamma-ray Spectra. Please see my other listings and thanks for looking.
