Disclaimer: Please read before buying or bidding. We strive to describe each specimen as accurately as possible. In some instances, especially with third party or estate items, the original labeling may be missing, inaccurate or items may be altered without our knowledge. We encourage buyers to consult an expert before buying minerals of an unknown type to verify accuracy. Some specimens, cabs and slabs may be quite fragile or have small imperfections like chips, stains, saw marks, dirt, discolorations or scratches. Hard to detect imperfections such as micro or hidden cracks may exist and in some rare instances specimens may be damaged during transit or unforeseeable faults discovered during cleaning or lapidary work. We do not warranty cabs, slabs or specimens against breakage or damage beyond delivery, including breakage during handling, cleaning, or lapidary work. As it is with raw cabbing minerals, we do not guarantee the interior of specimens will reflect the exterior appearance. We do not stabilize or alter specimens without notifying the buyer. However, it's possible some third party specimens could be stabilized, repaired or altered without our knowledge. In some instances, stabilization or alteration processes may be very difficult to detect without damaging the specimen(s) for testing purposes. In the event of a stabilization or alteration issue, we will be happy to fully refund or replace your purchase. Some specimens may be seen wet or damp to show polishing potential and such specimens may appear dull when received. Some specimens may have old tag glue or other mounting residue on them. Some specimens are seen propped up and may not sit naturally in such positions without mounting supports or stands. Large, bulk listings are not professionally inspected or individually tested and are always sold “as is.” Bulk purchases are tightly packed together. Some minor chipping or flaking is likely. Please contact us in advance of any purchase to confirm quality and specifics of individual specimens contained in bulk quantities. Although we use a color calibrated monitor and natural daylight for pictures, color and contrast of received specimens may vary due to differences in color monitors and lighting. As always, we will be happy to fully refund any purchase you are not happy with, but please contact us first before filing a claim as honest mistakes are possible with minerals. Thank you!
