Please read this before buying!
Micromounts are specimens which require magnification (sometimes a lot) for proper appreciation, so please be aware of this when purchasing and read the measurements of the specimen carefully to make sure you know the size of what you are ordering. Many of these specimens will not look like anything of value without good magnification!!
Thumbnail specimens are specimens that are 1 to 3 cm and fit in a 1.25 inch (~3.3 cm) plastic box, ...which should give you an idea of scale.
Miniature specimens are specimens that are 3.1 to 6 cm.
Cabinet-size specimens are specimens that are 6.1 cm and larger.

International customers- Please note that import duties, taxes or charges are not included in the item price or shipping fees and are the buyer's responsibility. While most countries do not have such taxes on mineral specimens, you should check in your own country to be sure before bidding/buying.
A note on IDENTIFICATION of rare species: unless stated otherwise, identifications of species are based on mine or my source?s visual inspection of the specimen. A knowledgeable collector with a good photo library and a good microscope can do amazingly well at species identification, but there is always a chance they are wrong. Even if a specimen has been analyzed by EDS there still may be some uncertainty. I will try to note when there is significant uncertainty with the ID of a species. If you think one of my IDs is wrong, please let me know and I will look into it further!
