    The shipping was super fast, as in shipped Monday and in my mailbox by Wednesday! The packaging was TOP NOTCH everything was nice and neatly packed in its own little bubble wrap. The specimen was as described. The value was fantastic as well! As per normal I will continue to do business with this seller.

    Beautiful specimen! Crystals are as described, but the photos don't do it justice. Great vivid blue color. Now I understand why the Milpillas material brings such high prices. It was carefully wrapped and shipped with another piece I also bought. Shipping was fast and the seller is willing to combine shipping. What I really appreciate about this seller is the little card with information about the specimen. Wish more sellers would do that. Thank you for the nice mineral and excellent service.

    Specimens won in an auction. The mineral specimens matched their descriptions and the videos depicted the specimens accurately. Any discrepancies associated with a mineral are always indicated accurately. The size of the specimen is always accurately indicated. Great videos of the specimen that allows the buyer to inspect the specimen. The packaging and shipping was great. They also refunded my account for combined shipping of two specimens. This is a first rate, great dealer to buy from.

    The best most trusted mineral seller on eBay. This was another great piece I won at auction for an amazing price. I've bought over 20 specimens from this store which is based in Tucson. Every transaction has gone smoothly, good packaging, fast shipping, and responsive service. The photos and videos in the listing are always exact. I've never felt ripped off or deceived in any way, which is why I always come back for more!

    Amazing seller, definitely top tier. They carefully packaged my item, it looks the same in person as it did on the listing. The item arrived quickly. I will definitely be buying from this seller again. Probably the most reputable seller I have conducted business with. I appreciate all the details they include with the packaging, such as where the gemstone was found. I got lucky with this piece, the seller honored the auction and its final price. I feel like I got a deal.

    Packaging was some of the best I have had for minerals thank you very much for taking extra care! Shipping was good, and seller added combined shipping without having to ask which was nice. Seller was also very fast at adjusting shipping and sending quickly. Items were as described and the value was from a bid.
