Description

This is a fairly rich – but not outrageously heavy - example of fluorescent wollastonite from the Sterling Mine (probably from the 340’ level).

Single item shipping weight 15.8 oz. For destinations outside the USA, the quoted postage/packing rates are good up to a total of 32 oz (950 g), so there is plenty of room for other items from this or other auctions.

The rate quoted for USA destinations is good up to 16 oz. (It actually varies by destination from $$8  to $10. Up to 32 oz total weight, the rate varies from $8.50 to $15.)

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.
