About this item(s): Impressive azurite sun specimen. Miner direct purchase. Top shelf quality.
Remarks: About this item: Azurite sun on kaolinite. Beware of fakes. I purchase all my azurite sun specimens directly from the miners in Australia. Unfortunately, these rare specimens are often faked, by adding manufactured azurite or broken (separated) pieces to matrix. All of the azurite suns I sell are 100% genuine. The genuine specimens are more expensive compared to fakes. Buyer beware.
Remarks: High grade specimen. Compare at over $300 at gem shows.
Weight: About 170g.
Size: About 3.25" x 3" x 1" (at longest, widest and thickest measurements). See video for exact size.
Origin: Miner.
Location of discovery:Northern Territory, Australia.
Returns: Please
contact us for returns. We want everyone to be happy! Altered items
(cut, damaged, drilled, polished, etc.), are not available for return,
exchange or refund. Items damaged in transit can be returned. See
shipping and return notes below.
Theft: Seller, host and the
USPS do not cover "porch pirating," or other forms of theft. Track your
packages and arrange for a secure delivery and receipt. Postal insurance
does not cover theft once delivered.
Combined Shipping: We will combine all orders placed at the same time and refund any extra postage.
Sizing: Note
measurement estimates in pictures, video and exact measurements in
description. Some specimens may be larger or smaller than anticipated.
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 or natural sources. Old mounting glue,
residue, tags or mouthing material may be present. Some specimens may
not sit upright as seen in pictures and may require a stand or other
propping device. Saw marks may be present on any rough, cabochons, slabs
or specimens. Some cabochons may appear smooth in pictures but may have
small vugs, natural fractures, edge chipping or other imperfections.
Pre-Shipping
Breakage: Because minerals are often unstable, some with micro cracks
or other unforeseen imperfections, we may not be able to fill an order
if the specimen is discovered as broken or unsteady upon second
examination. In such situations, the buyer understands and agrees to
hold the seller harmless (including feedback). All non-shipments will be
immediately refunded.
Slab and Lapidary Warranty: Al slabs or
lapidary rough can have unforeseen weaknesses including hidden cracks
and soft / weak areas. There is no way to test slabs without attempting
to break them with applied pressure. We strongly suggest stabilizing or
backing any slabs that could potentially break during any lapidary work.
There are no refunds in the event of breakage due to handing or
lapidary work after you receive the slab. The buyer accepts there are
risks in lapidary and gemstone work regarding the interior matrix, and
such matrix may not yield desired results. Therefore, there are no
refunds for lapidary rough based on inferior or unexpected interior
content.
Specimen and Lapidary Hazards: Many rocks and
minerals (specimens) contain potentially hazardous or allergenic
compounds, some known or unknown. Some specimens (as noted) may be
coated with polyurethane to provide a wet look. Always wash hands after
handling raw specimens. Specimens should never be applied to skin or
ingested. Lapidary work should always be preformed with safety equipment
including inhalation and skin contact considerations. Specimens should
not be used in aquariums or terrariums without establishing safety
first. Do not allow children to handle specimens. Buyer assumes all
responsibility for the safe handling of specimens.
Images: All
specimens are photographed with bright, natural sunlight or artificial
daylight at 5000K to 5500K to show accurate colors and details.
Specimens viewed in poor / indoor 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. Items used for backgrounds, props and
measurements such as rulers, coins, etc., are not included unless
otherwise noted in the description.
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. Some items may break or
chip during transit due to unknown micro-cracks. These items may be
returned for a refund.
Porch Pirating and Non-Delivery Addresses: USPS
insurance only covers delivery to your address. Insurance does not
cover packages after delivery, including packages stolen from doorsteps
or mailboxes. The seller cannot reimburse, refund or replace stolen
items. Please actively track valuable packages and be present for
delivery. Buyer is responsible for listing correct delivery address.
Addresses cannot be changed once an item is shipped. There are no
refunds for packages lost because of incorrect or incomplete addresses.
Canada
and International Shipping: Please contact us for shipping outside the
US. International shipments must be tracked and insured at buyer's
expense. Buyer is responsible for any destination taxes or fees.
Other Terms
Returns: ***
You must contact us in advance of any return for an authorization and
return address confirmation. *** In the event returns are allowed, the
buyer is responsible for return postage, safe packing, insurance and
tracking of the returned item(s). Refunds will only be issued after the
seller receives the item(s).
Returning Damaged Items: The
buyer is required to fully assist the seller in order to file an
insurance claim. This may include: forwarding pictures of the damaged
item(s), packing and shipping container in order to process a claim.
Buyer must also provide any information or confirmation requested by the
USPS or other shipping service.
Packing: Large lots of rocks
are generally shipped together in a tightly wrapped plastic bag. It has
been our experience that keys are not seriously damaged when packed as a
tight group. Some flaking or shedding is normal and expected.
Problems with orders: The
seller will do their best to complete all orders. Please note that the
seller is not responsible for issues beyond their control, including
issues with postal delays and host accounting issues.
