Description

Description:   RARE Pseudomorph Hematite after Magnetite. This is an exceptional piece. The terminations are great. Though hard to photograph, this piece absolutely sparkles. Even the form on this one is RARE with all the points on one side. I had this specimen in my collection and purchased a bigger specimen. What has been coming in from this mine in the last three years can not come close the the quality of this specimen.

A very aesthetic, glistening and sharply terminated bi-pyramidal crystal of Hematite after Magnetite. Collected at 9000 to 10000 feet at Payún volcano, Altiplano de Payún Matru, Mendoza, Argentina

Hematite Psuedomorph after Magnetite  GREAT sparkly surface that is hard to truly capture in photographs.  You will like this one.

For simplicity sake we have gone to 4 box sizes. You need to add a minimum 1" (2.5cm) to EACH side of ALL minerals for bubblewrap. 1"inch bubblewrap top, 1" bubblewrap bottom, and 1" on each side. So a 2"x2"x2" mineral becomes 4"x4"x4" with bubblewrap.

Insurance - Insurance is now included with the shipping price. And may be added to the above shipping price depending upon how fragile and expensive the item is.

Parcel post - US customers, we no longer ship parcel post. It saves a few pennies sometimes, however it now takes 8 to 10 days to get your shipment. Which is too long for most of you to wait.

International shipping -can take 3 to 4 weeks. Your country's customs can keep and inspect packages as long as they like. WE can do NOTHING about that. Canadian customers - we no longer ship United Parcel Service - UPS. Yes initially UPS is slightly cheaper, however we have had terrible problems with UPS making customers get a customs broker. This has cost the customer over $100 extra. On two other occasions they have sent back packages, because the address was street instead of drive (the customer inputs the address, not us). So we no longer will ship UPS. For some reason the US postal service does not do all this.

Combined shipping - If you want combined shipping PLEASE email us. WE have no way of knowing when you are finished bidding. Ebay sends automatic invoices. Ebay will charge the maximum shipping PER item, if I do not override the invoice. So bid all you like, but let us know "You want combined shipping." And we will send you a combined invoice the next day to pay.
