Here is a lovely piece featuring a mass of  Cassiterite crystals from Bolivia. The lusterous dark crystals were difficult to do justice to in the photo.

 

Don’t miss the opportunity to own this great specimen from a classic locality

 

Specimen  # 11.26.15-1

Payment must be received within 6 days of auction closing. I can combine shipments where it will not risk damage to the specimens. If you are buying several items please do not pay for them individually. I will find a box to hold all the items where suitable and will invoice you for combined shipping.

 

Priority mail is usually my preferred option for many pieces. The USPS supplies the boxes, the shipments are tracked, and the short handling time and rapid delivery are a big plus for customers. For some international shipments Priority can be quite expensive. In many cases First Class International makes more sense. For international shipments I will usually list international items under 4 lb. as First Class. For some items I will automatically package, First Class for all destinations. If that is the case I will already have reflected this in the expected shipping and handling. S&H includes a handling and supplies charge to cover costs above actual shipping.

Note to International Buyers: For Fossil and Mineral Specimens, I always use the Customs Code 9705.00.00.91 for fossil and mineral collectables. By international agreement that should make them duty free, however I have no control over individual customs offices and how they interpret the rules. In addition some countries assess a VAT. All pricing and shipping/handling is exclusive of Duty and/or VAT, which will be the responsibility of the purchaser. By law I am obligted to fill out customs forms accurately.

 

Good Luck
