Condition Notes: As seen in pictures. Most specimens are not professionally cleaned so dirt may be present. Some specimens may be stabilized without our knowledge, as some processes are very hard to detect. Some specimens may have odors from long-term storage, old mounting glue, tags or mouthing material attached. Some specimens may not sit upright as seen in pictures & may require a stand or other propping device. Saw marks may be present on "semi-polished" rough or specimens. Backing or stabilization is highly recommended for all slabs or rough to prevent breakage. Images: All specimens are photographed with bright, natural sunlight at 5000K to 5500K & checked for correct color with a calibrated monitor. Specimens viewed in poor lighting or non-daylight illumination sources may not appear as in the photographs. Some specimens (as noted in the description) may be seen wet or damp to show lapidary potential. in such instances, received item(s) may appear duller until professionally polished. Warranty: We do our best to accurately describe our mineral specimens or rough. However, as it is with most minerals, it's impossible to determine the exact interior structure or content, so we cannot warranty or refund specimens or rough used for lapidary work or excessive handling. We buy copper mining-related minerals, collections & estates. Returns & Terms: We strive to describe each specimen as accurately as possible, but it's always possible that we may miss something as an honest mistake, as some specimens are very complex & we all have varying degrees of acceptance. Specimens that have been altered (polished, broken, cut, etc.) by the buyer cannot be returned for a refund. Shipping: We are responsible for items arriving at your destination ONLY. Once recorded as "delivered" by the USPS or other shipper, we are not responsible for items stolen from your mailbox, doorstep, etc. No refunds or replacements can be made.
