Description

Chalcopyrite to about 2 cm with galena. Also sphalerite and small quartz crystals.

This is a fairly heavy item. The single item shipping weight (qwith case) is about 7.3 oz. For non-USA customers, that doesn’t leave much room for other specimens at the quoted rates, which are valid up to 8 oz (225 g). For total weights beween 8+ and 32 oz (225-950 g), the rates go up by $6 to Canada and $9 elsewhere.

The 8 oz limit is not a concern for USA customers. Rates increase by a nominal $0.20 per ounce. Above 13 oz, I will use Priority Mail ($8.50 including packing).

Please see my "Shipping Policy" for details.

Seller's terms and conditions

In addition to the standard terms and conditions, please note the following. Almost all IDs are visual. While in most cases the ID is obvious, there may be cases where it is not. If you are doubtful about a particular ID, please ask for more information. Or do not bid! Similarly, if you are not sure that the specimen meets your criteria, do not bid. I have tdone the best I can with the photos. Nevertheless, if you are not happy with a specimen for any reason, I will refund the bid price – but not the shipping costs (unless the fault is clearly mine) – if the specimen is returned. This policy applies even if analysis of the specimen shows that my ID was incorrect. When in doubt, ask - or don’t bid. Note that most crystals at MSH and Varennes are micros - even if on large specimens. Please pay attention to the stated sizes. Any customs duties, fees etc. are the responsibility of the buyer.
