PERMIAN AGE ROCK SALT SPECIMEN - 225 MILLION YEARS OLD
WANT SOME REALLY OLD SALT? LIKE, **REALLY-REALLY OLD**, AND ONE THAT COMES FROM PRETTY DEEP DOWN, LIKE, 2150 FEET DOWN?
While all salts we mine today around the world and often use for magic are from ancient seabeds, few come from such a depth to us. There be some powerful Mama-Earth / Father Sea magic here!
This sample bag contains a 360 grams / 10.76 oz chunk, approximately 3" x 4" x 2", of Permian Age rock salt, mined at approximately 2150 ft underground, at the WIPP - Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad, NM. This is a nuclear waste repository, and I promise the salt was taken out BEFORE they dumped the waste there. This is NOT radioactive!
It was donated by Michelle, whose father was a roaming geologist, and who acquired this while visiting or working at the WIPP many years ago.
The Permian Age is the period during the Paelozoic Era when all the continents were joined into one, Pangaea (All-One-Land), surrounded by the Panthalassia (All-One-Sea), the single world-spanning ocean.
More on the period - PERMIAN AGE
More on the WIPP & the Nuclear disposal there - WIPP
More on the SALT at WIPP and why WIPPP was situated there - SALT & WIPP
FMV - $ 30 to PRICELESS, as no more salt can come up from there, of course, due to the nuclear waste.
