    Item arrived on time and was packaged well. The item was exactly as advertised and was amazing value compared to other places. The seller was also incredibly speedy at replying to my enquiries. Although it was not the fault of the seller (the packaging used to send the item was more than sufficient), my figure did have a manufacturing defect (the left hand was broken off). Thankfully superglue put it back in place and no one can tell it was broken.

    Item as described, well packaged, great price, unfortunately it took 9 days to arrive from stated dispatch date and seller didn’t respond to my request to investigate why tracking was still showing it as awaiting dispatch for a number of days.

    Item came perfectly described with good packaging. Only issue is dispatch time and communication takes a while, thankfully came in time for what it was intended. Price is really good and super informative tutorials inside.

  • A Book For All Ages

    Well illustrated book. Although not classed as a children's book it would still be a lovely book for any 7 years and upward girl or boy interested in shells, gems and rocks. Illustrations are really good and text informative. A n excellent educational book for any age with this interest.

  • bedt book on rocks and Gems for a beginner or a child.

    Having previously bought an older 2nd hand book re ' rocks and Gems ' I was bitterly disapointed. With this book I was very pleased. Most rocks and gems are icluded and the colour photos are exceptional. There is enough text to explain each item without going in to waffle that no one really wants. I would say if you are starting out collecting or want to understand those ' mystery semi precious' items you have had for years then this book is perfect.
