Description

This is actually an epimorph of Prehnite after Glauberite and is a classic from this well known quarry.  This one was collected back in the 1980's and I received it in an exchange from the collector in 1992.  The specimen features a complete covering of light green Prehnite epimorphs on a crust of basalt. These are rarely seen on the market anymore. Ex Ertel collection.

Note:  Shipping includes both postage and insurance. Shipping costs shown here are close approximations, but may vary slightly based on destination country and final auction value.

Seller's terms and conditions

Auction items are not returnable due to the nature of auctions.

Payments for auctions won are expected to be paid within 3 days of auction ending. If still unpaid after 7 days, I will assume the buyer is not going to pay and I will return the specimen to inventory and ask e-rocks to cancel the auction for non payment. I cannot guarantee a specimen will remain available if not paid within 7 days. Non payment is not fair to e-rocks, the seller, or other bidders.  7 days is more than enough time to make a payment.

All purchases using PayPal funding require shipping insurance in order to protect both buyer and seller. Priority mail includes insurance up to $100 value. Additional insurance will be added on the invoice for orders overe $100.  Insurance on First Class mailings will be added to the invoice based on final auction value.

For combined shipping, Buyer should pay all invoices within 3 days and I will hold purchases until final shipping is requested. I will not combine shipping for any buyer that has past due invoices still unpaid. A separate invoice with separate shipping will be sent.  

Seller accepts PayPal and credit cards for all International mailings.

Seller Accepts Credit Cards, PayPal, checks and money orders for all US mailings.
