2.6g Trinitite & Rare Collector Stamp

2.6g Trinitite with a small area of black freckles and a rare Oppenheimer Commemorative Stamp.

1. This 2.6g piece is still considered "regular" Trinitite (most common), even with the black freckles, indicating steel from the tower. The topside is glossy in the classic olive green areas. The majority of the topside rolls over and meets the underside. The piece is thin, but three sides do have small open "craters", and at opposite ends, small clusters of crystallizations and as a bonus, a couple of black crystallizations. 

2. Oppenheimer Commemorative Stamp is included. This is a rare addition with a color photograph of Oppenheimer, smoking his pipe and physics formulas in the background. This Commemorative Stamp was issued by Sierra Leone circa 2017, and meant to honor his life.

3. The Trinitite, along with the Commemorative Stamp comes in a high end thick plastic case, with a clear 360° view of the Trinitite. This case allows for full visibility of the topside, sides and edges, without having to remove the Trinitite. This case can lay flat for a downward view, placed on a shelf with its backside supported by the backend of the shelf or up against a wall for a forward facing view. This case can also be placed on an easel to be admired on a side table, desktop, or to be supported if displayed further to the front of a shelf/bookcase. The Commemorative Stamp and Trinitite rest on a black foam insert. The Stamp is held in place by a small, sheer, and flat sticky tape. The Trinitite is secured by a small pea sized piece of rock putty, which will remain tacky enough to allow for removal and then placed back inside the case on the foam insert. 

*Seller will ensure all pieces of Trinitite, the case, and the Commerative Stamp are equal to or greater than the first sold. 

*Seller used AI as an image on a bookshelf, at an angle, ro give an idea on how this can be displayed.
