Pale-blue microcrystalline rosettes of kinoite with very minor ruizite in one corner of the matrix. General Information: Please read both this section and the entire item listing before making a purchase. This information will help to avoid misunderstandings or assumptions between us. We want to provide you with everything you need to make an informed choice. If you require more information, please email us before completing your order. Species Identification: All species identifications are visual unless otherwise specified. Unlisted and/or unidentified species may also be present on the specimen. If available, a copy of the XRD, SEM, or other analytical data will be included in your parcel. Documentation Information: All specimens are accompanied by a label and full documentation including species name(s), location name, MinDat locality number, and other important information. Provenance labels are included with the specimen when available. Location Information: Location data is provided just as we receive it. We do not change location information, although we may note that the data is suspect. The number shown with the location data is the code assigned by MinDat, except for the six-digit numbers beginning with 9. Codes beginning with 9 are proprietary codes we use until MinDat assigns a new location code. We use the MinDat codes to achieve location consistency between specimens from the same locality. You can query the MinDat site using the code to obtain much more location information than we can provide. Photography Information: We include only a single photograph for many specimens. Photography requires a great deal of time, and we cannot justify the time required to take six photographs of an inexpensive specimen. If you have a specific question, or something in the photograph is in question, please email us and we will address your concern and take additional photographs if necessary. Photographs are published exactly as taken. We do not alter or enhance photographs, except to crop and adjust lighting when necessary. Colors are never changed. eBay may make changes, which are beyond our control. The small square that you may see on the photograph background is 10mm x 10mm in size. This scale may help you in estimating relative sizes. Size Information: Please make sure you are fully aware of the size of the specimen, and the size of the crystals present on it (if any), before making your purchase. Email us if you need clarification. You will receive what you see in the photo(s) and read about in the item description, which may not, necessarily, be the same thing(s) that your mind's eye might visualize or wish for. If you require the exact dimensions of a specific MM or TN specimen, please email us prior to purchase and we will provide that information. Dimensions and weights are listed in the item description for specimens larger than TN size. We do not list dimensions and weights for MM (micro mount) and TN (thumbnail) specimens. You can estimate the dimensions using the scale provided on the specimen photographs(s). Please reference the Size Codes and Definitions chart below. Shipping Information: We ship all domestic parcels via USPS Ground Advantage service (insured for US$100), (the least-expensive service available), unless you request otherwise. Books are sent via USPS Media Rate. Shipments to international clients are sent using eBay's International service, (the least expensive option) unless you request otherwise. If you have any concerns about international shipping, please enquire via email before making a purchase. Combined Shipping: We offer combined shipping for all items shipped together. We combine the initial shipping charge for the item with the highest shipping cost with the charge for each additional specimen shipped in the same parcel. To achieve the lowest possible shipping cost using combined shipping, first place all your items in your eBay cart and then checkout. If you order items seperately, you will be charged full shipping for each item. Please note: Both eBay and PayPal retain a percentage of your shipping charge as part of their profit scheme. This often amounts to 25% or more of your total shipping charge. International shipments, in particular, are subject to large surcharges. Because of this practice, we are forced to increase your shipping charge so that we will break even on shipping. We realize that $8.00 is a lot of money for shipping a single 2-ounce specimen, but now you know why we must do it. Please feel free to contact and complain to eBay and PayPal about their greed. Please reference the Combined Shipping Discount Rates chart below. International Clients: International clients are responsible for payment of all customs, VAT fees and other destination costs and charges. We cannot be responsible for delays or losses due to your customs or overseas postal authorities. Returns: We offer a 30-day no-questions-asked return policy for both domestic (USA) and international clients. We will refund your purchase price plus your shipping costs (both directions) if you are dissatisfied with your specimen for any reason.
